What has happened to people? There is no way to prepare for what we've never experienced; why don't they just shut up and get to work?
How can you not prepare for this? The forecasts of what would happen to NO if a hurricane hit it have seem to be dead-on so far.
In my opinion, the lack of planning for something so obvious is criminal.
I AGREE THEY WAS RUNNING JEB BUSH DOWN AFTER HAURRICANES BUT IT DID NOT WORK. WHAT THEY ARE TELLING IS MISSISSIPPI HAD DAMAGE FROM ONE END TO OTHER OF THIS STATE. NOT MANY IN MISSISSIPPI HAD POWER AND I MEAN NONE. THIS LIKE NOTHING THAT HAS EVER HIT THIS COUNTRY. NOT MATTER HOW PREPARED WE WAS MANY THING WOULD GO WRONG. NEW ORLEANS IS ANOTHER STORY FOR THEM TO NOT USE BUSES TO GET PEOPLE OUT IT NUTS AND NOT LETTING IN RED CROSS AND SATVATION ARMY IS CRIMINAL. MISSISSIPPI COAST IS GONE AND HATTIESBURG AND MEERIDIAN IS IN BAD SHAPRE AS IS MOST OF THE STATE. WE LIVE IN PEARL, MS. AND WE STILL HAVE POWER PEOPLE FROM MI., GA., ARK., AL., AND PEEN IN OUR CITY IF 30,000.
ALL MEDIA NEED WAS TELL ABOUT NEW ORLEANS AND EVEN NORTHERN LA. WAS DAMAGED VERY BAD. WE HAVE FAMILY WHO LIVES AT COAST.
IF THEY HELP ANY CLOSER THEY WOULD BE GONE LIKE 1ST. RESPONDERS AT WTC BOMBING.
Maybe in your world people don't take the time to prepare for the unexpected, but most of us do. If I'm going to take a trip someplace I've never been before, I'll sure as hell ask around amongst my friends and family for someone who has SOME idea of what I'm getting into so I can prepare myself.
Florida offered to help their neighbors prepare for something they (Florida) could be considered as "subject matter experts" on. Their neighbors refused, like the fools they are seen as now. Sadly, others are suffering, and paying, for the foolishness of the leaders of these states.
Just think, if they had accepted the help offered, most of the work having to be performed now (like recovering the dead) would be unnecessary, and they would not have to "just shut up and get to work."
