I agree - the city & state are completely unable to deal with this. People sitting all over the place, waiting for something to happen. They can't travel far, they need food, water, shelter, medical care. They need to get out of that town and breathe a bit. But there's no ride out. Where's the busses that take 100,000 kids to school each day?
Somewhere on one of these threads there is a picture of them. They're underwater at the moment, unfortunately.
