ing A, good job Ted. This is what I want to see.
DAMN.
Bra ing vo.What I'm pissed off about are the peeps still in their attics or still soaking wet in the street, starving and the whole "evacuation" plan just one big clusterfvck.

Who is he grilling?
What the about people in Slidell, Biloxi, Mobile and all those towns on the gulf coast. If the rescue process is that ed up in New Orleans, imagine what's happpening there.
You know, whatever else comes out of this, the convention center is one of the worst ups I've ever seen.
those other towns have gotten lucky.
Their city isnt flooded I dont think like NO is.
yes. ers tell people to wait for food and water. And they get ed bad.
Some guy from FEMA. He basically kept him on point about how they ed up by telling people to go to the convention center and then forgetting about them and leaving them there to die. The guy couldn't come up with to say except I don't know who told them that.
But in the rural areas, there's no power, no homes, no food, no water.
Yeah, its just gone instead. No one's gotten lucky.
Okay, what is ing about the evacuation process accomplishing? Are you changing it?True, but for the people in New Orleans there really isn't much to do. The Red Cross is barely operating within the city, so donating money to them does nothing for those people. It's impossible to go into the city and volunteer there.
Volunteering in Houston or San Antonio is commendable, but that's the easy part. Those people are already taken out of the that is New Orleans. They'll get back on their feet eventually.

They ed up - they are fixing it. And yes, extra people are probably going to die because they didn't get evacuated quickly. One reason it's difficult to get people out is that there's pretty much only one way in and out of the city, right? So they have to gather all the people and get them to that end of town and take them out.
How many people fit on a bus? 80? So if you have thousands that need out - that takes time. Yes, it could have been done more smoothly. Yes, it's a up for not feeding them at the Super Dome. But right now, you can't back up and fix those screwups, you can only move forward and do the best you can.
Unless you are planning on packing up tomorrow and going to N.O. to help take out those people, then you need to do whatever you can do here at home. And that's feed, cloth, and help the refugees that are out.
I think Biloxi and Gulport got it pretty bad. But their cities aren't in a bowl like N.O. is.
^^^ lol funny but true.
Watching local LA tV.
Stater Brothers Grocery Stores have collected 300 thousand in walk up donations.
thats what I meant.I think Biloxi and Gulport got it pretty bad. But their cities aren't in a bowl like N.O. is.
They are bad, but they arent getting flooded out on top of roofs like LA.
I will say this. I hope every President, including the one in office now, realizes the importance of having competant FEMA directors. Preferably ex-military guys instead of an attorney like Michael Brown or a PoliSci guy like Allbaugh, ex-chief of staff of Governor W.
(Not Bush-bashing...I did enough of that earlier)
Nothing. But "nothing" isn't too far off from what they've accomplished.
I'm giving my opinion on what has happened. Unless I'm the president or a governor and don't know it, I don't think I could have done anything a week ago to plan what the evacuation process will be.
My plan sure wouldn't be to send people somewhere and forget about them.
Nope.Are you changing it?
A fvck up of this magnitude is unacceptable. This is too big of a scale to think que sera, sera.They ed up - they are fixing it.
Maybe next time they won't be caught with their pants down if enough people complain with how it was handled this time.
Fantasitc.And yes, extra people are probably going to die because they didn't get evacuated quickly.
By road, yeah. But what about ships? You can hold thousands on ships. They can find places to bring in helicopters or planes to get people out of there.One reason it's difficult to get people out is that there's pretty much only one way in and out of the city, right?
Even if you assume 80 people per bus and you have a bus leaving every 15 minutes, that's close to 30K in one day. That's not even counting what ships or aircraft can get out of there.How many people fit on a bus? 80?
At most, they should have been able to empty the city in three days.
Not one week.So if you have thousands that need out - that takes time.
Of course.Yes, it could have been done more smoothly. Yes, it's a up for not feeding them at the Super Dome. But right now, you can't back up and fix those screwups, you can only move forward and do the best you can.
But a fvck up of this magnitude deserves attention.
Unless you are planning on packing up tomorrow and going to N.O. to help take out those people, then you need to do whatever you can do here at home. And that's feed, cloth, and help the refugees that are out.
1. They aren't letting people into New Orleans to help.
2. Manny already has the SA volunteering under control.
OMG, I'm watching the helicopters dropping sandbags into the break of the levee, and I have to say it looks like the stupidest idea I've ever ing seen.
You mean the idea that should have been tried on Tuesday?
Official Astrodome refugee count is 11,375. Sorry if I misinformed anyone earlier.
They didn't have a bus available to leave every 15 minutes. That would have been a of a lot of buses. A cruise ship is the way to go, I think. They could have just loaded everybody up and sailed them out. Cruise ships hold thousands.
All I'm saying is that there's nothing we can do about past mistakes. All you can do is the best you can from here on out. If makes you feel better to vent, go ahead. Venting to the government might make you feel better than venting here though.
One off topic question, has anyone talked about kids that have been orphaned from this?
I'm ready to rank the hurricane coverage, based on the too-many-hours I've watched the last three days.
1. MSNBC
2. CNN
3. Fox News.
I think Fox News has about 5 minutes total of video footage, 75% of which is "looters," kept on constant loop.
What did Carnival wind up donating, anyway?They didn't have a bus available to leave every 15 minutes. That would have been a of a lot of buses. A cruise ship is the way to go, I think. They could have just loaded everybody up and sailed them out. Cruise ships hold thousands.
WWLTV puts them all to shame.
