I agree with maleficent. No doubt the federal and state help could have been faster and better targeted but the Mayor was caught off guard as well.
About the only thing he did right before the hurricane hit was tell people to get out of town and provide free bus rides to the Superdome for those who couldn't. Why weren't they screaming for the feds to provide bus convoys to get people out of the city before the storm?
The local N.O. officials and Louisiana Governor were just as unprepared for the magnitude of the flooding as the feds were.
