Scott and I could not sleep last night and got up at 2:30 to check the news....
I am still in such shock...Why can't they do something for those pathetic people....who was the emergency planners...they had to know from past drills that so many people would not be able to get out....Did not have the means to get out...What a failure of the leadership in the city/state and country....George Bush will be lucky if he is not shot....so many people saying that they can get more water to the dessert in the middle east than to New Orleans....why not bring a ship up the MS river?...this is so horrific...at the moment there isn't anywhere to bury the dead....all those old people lived their life to die like this in the riches country in the world....so so sad....yes, today I am very thankful that my family is at least safe and hopefully with little damage to their homes...what a range of emotions...
On another note...West U has stepped up security! I hope some of the folks that get to Texas can start a new....they have a much better chance of educating their kids in TX than they did in New Orleans....
