FEMA head says they are NOT dropping sandbags

[Jersey Devil]

He blamed in on the general in charge of the Army Corps of Engineers, said, "the general has decided not to do that at this time"

What bullshit

[swag]

1. I'm glad the adults are in charge.

2. well....

wouldn't that be to PREVENT the catastrophe that has already happened?

3. I think that the level of Lake Ponchartrain is now below the breaches.

So they can get on top of the levees in a more normal way. I heard that the water has stopped coming in.

4. I can't wait to hear what Mayor Nagil has to say about this...

Ok, so next high tide (tonight?), the lake level rises 2 ft and dumps that into the city... How many more thousands of gallons is that?

5. I wish they would get their story right.

One minute they report they are dropping sandbags and shipping containers, next they are saying they are getting ready to do it, then they say they tried but it didn't work.

I am of the impression they have done nothing because if they had they would definitely want the media to see it so they could show they were trying.
