New Orleans is Sinkin'

Imagine. Losing your family, your home, your possesions, your pride, in an instant. A rescue bungled, a government failed, a city lost. No power, no streets, no buildings, no business. Utter and complete destruction. 140 mph winds. 20 feet of contaminated water. 2 months to pump and drain. 2 months for electricity. 10,000 wanton deaths. Why? Why didn't New Orleans have a plan? Why did it take four days for the president to react? Why didn't I go to Mardi Gras last year?
