You made some great points.
But the city taking people to the Superdome is not what I was speaking of. The Superdome already had leakage problems prior to them arriving there. I meant taking them out of the city. Even if it meant staying on the bus for extended periods of time, out of harms way is most important. And then in the Superdome the National Guard didn't have the food or resources to feed the people housed. Now, call me crazy but if a city, state, government knows that it has to make provisions to house around 15,000 people for at least a weeks time shouldn't there have been SOMETHING done prior to their arrival? Why was there no food, this is Louisiana food is not a scarce resource. Why weren't blankets and pillows for some of the homeless who had to be housed? We live in a very giving community, the community organizations in Louisiana have literally storage areas full of donated supplies.
The problem was it was expected that this was going to be another, hit and miss. That Katrina was going to skip over New Orleans as other storms have done. They just dropped the ball, they really did.
