Default Re: Yes FEMA, there is more than one Charleston..

Yeah, I think it is a contest:

One small cog in the biggest US relief operation is Jessie Burrell, driver of a truck carrying 51,840 bottles of water. Dispatched from Orange Springs in Florida on Saturday, he could be seen late on Monday in the upper 9th ward parked by the roadside looking at a bridge he could not cross.

His typed instructions, from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema), were to deliver his cargo to an address in Chalmette, an eastern suburb. But, as many people in New Orleans could have told him, and as Fema should have known, Chalmette is deep underwater. In front of him lay the Inner Harbour Navigation Canal that connects the Mississippi, running along the south of the city with Lake Pontchartrain to the north. Breaches in that canal flooded most of St Bernard parish, which includes Chalmette, to the east.
