Apparently not. We just raised a million bucks up here in NH for the
effort today, and have offered 1100 NG troops, the feds have accepted
less than 500 so far, they'll be flying down this weekend.

>From what I'm reading, there are a lot of welfare mentalities sitting
around waiting for the government to do do do for them. If people
living below sea level on the coast in a hurricane zone do not have
supplies to deal with such emergencies, they shouldn't be pointing
fingers at anyone but themselves.

The mayor and governor told the residents of NO to evacuate. Those that
stayed around, from the tv video, seem to have done so for the looting
opportunities, or live where they are worried about being looted while
gone because they know their neighborhood.
