I remember The Weather Channel had a series back in the '90's about the most vulnerable cities to hurricanes in the US. New Orleans was ranked at the top. It’s been well known for a while that this could happen. Why we were not better prepared to help these poor people?
Watching the CBS evening news last night almost brought tears to my eyes. CNN did a pretty sobering interview with the Mayor of New Orleans this morning that pretty much sums it up.
I guess the photo ops from this afternoon will make people forget how bad this situation has been handled form the beginning.
