Great photo essay.

I thought it incredible that he and his friends just ho-humed their way through the whole week, went to the Convention Center and saw they'd NEVER get out from there, found their own transportation and escaped the city.

Just freaking incredible.

And Jesse Jackson had NO residents resorting to cannabalism. What a load.

I'll never forget the welling of tears and glorious rage I felt upon witnessing The Who's performance (and many others) after Sept. 11.

Oh, no kidding - The Who rocked that night - they were absolutely amazing - and same here - tears and anger all at once.

Loved this caption:

"I don't know her name, but she works for MSNBC. My apologies for my wordage, but this wench didn't know what the hell was going on. She made up 75% of what she was saying and exaggerated about 95% of everything that she did know. The message: do you want to be a reporter? All you need to do is have a pretty face and buy a Thesaurus!"

LOL!

It was interesting to see how his attitude toward the press turned the longer he was exposed to them. Did you catch his comments about Brian Williams? He spanked him pretty good too.

I saw The Phantom of the Opera there. This was an excellent photo essay. I liked his comments on the msnbc newscaster and the media in general.

Wow! What a great bunch of pictures. It just makes you feel like you were there. He sure told a tale on the media.

He documented events very well. Created a great timeline for when the flooding actually started.

The photos in the slide show are interesting and well documented of the events.... worth a look, imo.

Wow, NerdDad!
That was so poignant.
I got misty-eyed seeing those pics.

He documented his presentation very well.
And, his comments were most enjoyable.

Thank you so much for the post!

This essay clearly shows that the mood in the city was relaxed until the flooding started. Even then the residents were not alarmed.

Meanwhile, remember that the brunt of the storm hit communities to the east on the coast of Mississippi and Alabama. The television coverage showed one community which was rubble near Gulfport. The destroyed houses were over a mile from the shore and 90 feet above sea level. They were still inundated by a major water surge over 8 feet high. The storm damage covered an area larger than some states with hundreds known killed during the first day.

I think it is easy to see why the first FEMA resources would have been applied in these other states. On the other hand, the Louisiana locals were clearly not tending to their problems. Gretna, directly south of New Orleans, managed to get evacuated. The New Orleans locals couldn't seem to pull it off.

(2) the National Guard was present on Day 2; and the flooding did not start until Day 3.

Yes, I noticed that as well. And what about the caravan of SUVs he noted with something like help is on the way?

This is a great photo essay. I have asked the Admin Moderator to consider linking to it from some of the more important lists. It would be a shame if everyone did not get a chance to see this.

Notice that there were military or Guard troops there from day 1, and in fact from day zero, that is Sunday *before* the storm hit. He also speaks of all those helicopters, which were rescuing people the mayor didn't evacuate before the storm hit.
