Ok folks, here is the contrast with Katrina
We have a WORKING EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER... and disaster triage.
We have FEMA, NatGuard, locals, you know, working together.
We also don't have the incredible incompetence of Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco.
We also have a storm that just barely, by the skin of its meteorological teeth, qualifies as a hurricane.
The crazy bald dwarf should look on the bright side, though.
With a foot of rain coming down, they're unlikely to have many brush fires.
And that's a good thing, since few of those Cajuns have Nomex shirts.
