Lord, Almighty. 60,000 body bags and that might not be enough. What a horrid account from the ground.The several dozen people that MAY have died in the Superdome or Convention Center due to lack of timely resupply of water, ice and food, for whatever reason, will pale in comparision to the thousands of people who were killed by the flooding when they could have been evacuated in advance by the local authorities. And as it becomes more well known that the locals had both the knowledge and responsibilty to take timely action, I wouldn't be surprised if some don't call for their indictment and criminal prosecution.
