[Leica] Hugo in Charleston

[sonc.hegr at gmail.com (Sonny Carter)]

You must remember that Katrina didn't damage New Orleans nearly as
much as inept levee boards, a Corps of Engineers that lived by the
motto, "We followed the orders'", FEMA, and an Executive department
that didn't even know the storm was blowing.

Wait, I think they did care.  Many people got rich in the aftermath of
Katrina, and the effort to make FEMA Pro-active lined many more
pockets.
