Why didn't the US govt plan for this?
It's not like the huricane was unexpected. They had time to issue warnings about it. Why weren't they organizing the reconvery effort to be on standby for after it struck.
I appreciate that these storms are somewhat unpredictable but the lack of forethought and planning exhibited by the 'powers that be' are an absolute embarrasment to the US.
I don't understand how this can be allowed to happen. Not the govt's fault that the storm happened, but their fault is the piss-weak response and shocking lack of coordinated effort.
