"We need to get people to food, water and shelter."
This just said by the governor of Louisiana.

No, lady.
What you need to do is get food, water, and shelter TO THESE PEOPLE.
Whoever is in charge (evidently no one, yet) should have been dropping cases of water, MREs, and tarps to rooftops and unflooded areas SINCE DAYBREAK TUESDAY MORNING.

TRIAGE, lady.

Get it TO them and then sort out how to get them out of there.

I know she's under a hell of a strain and she only has those fuckwads in Washington to work with, but come on.

2. I don't think the Gov has the power or resources to
get this done.
This is a FEMA/DHS thing and they seem to be paralyzed.

Let's place the blame squarely where it belongs.
