[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 48017"] I agree that enough is not being done well enough when we have people sitting in the streets dying. I wonder though if we didn't get a glimpse today of the difficulty in relieving New Orleans. I watched the first national guard convoy roll into new orleans today. What I saw was them driving down streets of water that appeared to be 3 to 5 feet deep while driving by broken highways that had been the main thoroughfares in and out of town. We should also give some credit where credit is due. From everything I have seen they had the US Coast Guard and many white water rescue crews in that city almost immediately immediately trying to save lives. That has to be the first response and it appears they executed that one very well. I think one of the main problems in this mess is the following of protocal. Hurricane hits. Cities and states assess damage and then request help. The process of assessing and requesting help causes too much of a delay in the process before the federal government gets involved. MHO [/QUOTE]
