Katrina was not a hallmark of our domestic severe weather preparedness.
When I visited they had an attitude, not unlike New Orleans, that somehow by magic they would never take a direct hit from a hurricane. Now, I don’t wish ill on the Jamaican people, but pardon me if I have a certain lack of confidence in their ability to work together.
NOLA residents were warned on Saturday, you can go back and check on FR hurricane threads, they refused to go. That's NOT the governments fault and being first responders is NOT the federal government's job.
