Cowperson, excellent observations (as usual).
I just saw a report on television that said that water did not reach the convention center and Super Dome for 5 days and paramedics and doctors did not arrive for 6 days after the hurricane. People were told to go there, and they didn't even have water ready? Very suprising since these was the evacuation centers. They obviously didn't have the planning in place that they should have.
Even without planning, does it seem reasonable to take 5 days to get water to these locations? And if you take into account the couple of days warning that the hurricane was coming, it really took more like 7 or 8 days!!! Disgraceful.
