Response time to the Tsunami was more organised than this.
Personally, I have no idea how I would react to a disaster of these proportions, having, thankfully, never lived through anything like this. Hell, I get scared during a 5.4 earthquake and everyone laughs at me. When the winds go over 50 miles an hour, I'm looking to leave....so...I have nothing with which I can relate..
And, there will always be the cruel, the unthinking, the barbaric...I chalk that up to poor protoplasm and miswired genetics......
It still goes back to the resources this country has. New York had shame, too, in the aftermath of 911...in my head, I can't compare the two. Waking up in the morning to watch jets fly into two monuments is a little different than watching the path of a Hurricane..and seeing it ramp up from Cat 1 to Cat 5.....knowing that NO is below sea level....There was time to organise and mobilise.....and prepare...
