You know, this was a hurricane. A violent bit of weather that we saw coming ahead of time. An event that was predicted, planned for (at least, They Knew that the levees could be breached and what would happen).

Our so-called “Homeland Security” failed miserably. FEMA is a joke.

Is this the response when there is advance notice?

So what’s it going to be like when CA gets hit with the Big One? Or a nice little suitcase nuke gets set off somewhere?

Yeah.

BTW – there’s incredible coverage at http://www.wwltv.com

Also, you really should read the Times-Picayune – you can get pdf pages of the paper here:
