It's awful. There are still many trapped in St. Bernard and other areas, and the toll is worse than anyone in authority is willing to admit yet. But, "awful" doesn't describe what we will hear in the next couple of days.
And why are we supposed to give a pass to the Mayor or the Gov? It was frustrating watching that storm build in the Gulf and seeing the Mayor and the Gov bumble around. This goes for MS and AL too who only had 30% of the coast evac'd.
