People need to remember this is Thursday.
The storm hit Monday, the devastation actually began to become clear on Tuesday.

There is no miracle solution.
Trucks are coming with food, water, clothing, and supplies.
Right now the anarchy of the few thugs that don't seem to want the rescuers to actually be allowed to do their work is the biggest deterrant to relief.

By the end of this American companies will have donated supplies and aid totalling half a billion or more. Count on it.

Thousands and thousands of volunteers from SAR crews to ARC workers to church volunteers are converging as we speak. FEMA and various NG elements are working night and day. What they need is our support and prayers, and they need to people of NOLA to help them not fight them in their relief efforts.

Thank you for making that great point. The leftists are acting like the government is God, that it has the ability to get supplies there in no time. Hmmmm, I wonder why?

not to mention most people don't get how few good roads and bridges allow access into the area.

You're correct that only 4 days have past since the disaster hit.

Good thing it's a tropical climate and not a temperate one. And good thing it's not the end of September with winter approaching.

I'm usually a "glass half-full" person.

This is a great opportunity to kull the welfare class in New Orleans.
