Why yes...it's absolutely the State of Louisiana and New Orleans fault it took the Federal government a week to organize a response. You Fox new viewers are hilarious. :)

izzat so?

In a September 26, 2005 hearing, former FEMA chief Michael Brown testified before a U.S. House subcommittee about FEMA's response. During that hearing, Representative Stephen Buyer (R-IN) inquired as to why President Bush's declaration of state of emergency of August 27 had not included the coastal parishes of Orleans, Jefferson, and Plaquemines. (In fact, the declaration did not include any of Louisiana's coastal parishes; rather, they were included in the declaration dated August 29.) Brown testified that this was because Louisiana Governor Blanco had not included those parishes in her initial request for aid, a decision that he found "shocking."

Bush was warned that the levees may overflow, as were Governor Blanco and Mayor Nagin.

Bush was criticized for not returning to Washington, D.C. from his vacation in Texas until after Wednesday afternoon, more than a day after the hurricane hit on Monday. On the morning of August 28, the president telephoned Mayor Nagin to "plead" for a mandatory evacuation of New Orleans, and Nagin and Gov. Blanco decided to evacuate the city in response to that request.

The large number of deaths were a result of the insufficient response and evacuation before Katrina's arrival, primarily due to city and state resistance to issuing an evacuation order and risking "crying wolf" and losing face should the hurricane have left the path of model prediction. Had contra-flow on highways been initiated sooner and more buses begun evacuating families (including the idle school buses that were not used at all) the numbers of stranded New Orleans occupants would have been significantly less making the initial wave of FEMA supplies adequate and even excessive.

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin was also criticized for failing to implement his food plan and for ordering residents to a shelter of last resort without any provisions for food, water, security, or sanitary conditions. Perhaps the most important criticism of Nagin is that he delayed his emergency evacuation order until less than a day before landfall, which led to hundreds of deaths of people who (by that time) could not find any way out of the city. Adding to the criticism was the broadcast of parking lots full of yellow school buses, which Mayor Nagin refused to allow to be used in evacuation. When asked why the buses were not used to assist evacuations, Nagin cited the lack of insurance liability and shortage of bus drivers.

Members of the press suggested that Michael Brown was not experienced in emergency management when he was appointed to the position by President Bush two years prior to Katrina. Mr. Brown continues to deny these charges. In fact he had limited authority to order federal agencies into action until about 36 hours after the storm hit.

Official requests for help through the proper chains of command were not forthcoming due to local and state delays in engaging FEMA for federal assistance, even after approached by such authorities. Local police and other EMS workers found the situation traumatic; at least two officers committed suicide, and over 300 deserted the city after gang violence and "turf wars" erupted around the city.

does anyone think that libs aren't hoping that lots of black folks will die in Hurricane Harvey so they can accuse Trump of more racism?
 
Just listened to General Honoree from the Katrina days. He's hoping the local mayor and authorities start NOW to move people out of the low-lying areas because this water is going to start piling up fast. He says this will be a 5 or 6 day event and they can't afford to wait until the water is higher when it will be impossible to get them out.

Is there any doubt that liberals will find someway to blame the hurricane on trump?

I already expect it will be next weeks news cycle.

Way ahead on this one.

Of course a bunch of dumbass liberal retards wont leave their shanty towns after being told ten times to leave. They'll be sitting around with their thumbs up their ass and drool coming out of their mouth when the water level rises and lifts them out of their lazyboy.

It will be trumps fault for not being superman and personally escorting these lowlife scum out of obvious danger

Trump will then talk about how america will be doing everything it can to help rebuild and repair the damages. Liberals will claim that he didn't condemn the hurricane enough. Trump will probably remark on the loss of life, but liberals will say that he wasn't sympathetic enough to the retards that died or something.

The storm's landing point was evacuated and little rescues.

The local Houston area was not evacuated, the local powers that be underestimated the rain and flooding.

Flooding in the Dickerson area was sudden and had not happened since the 70's. It was considered low risk by local authorities.

The downtown areas were evacuated as were the Bayou areas and the coast.

Trump is tweeting stupid stuff, he gets the ridicule he deserves.

Well you have to admit that Climatologists have made far more accurate predictions than Supply Side Economist ever have. Though I admit that's not exactly setting the bar very high for Climatologists since Supply Siders have never made any.

When you two met did you actually talk about climate?
 
The premise behind this thread is really inappropriate and tasteless.

I have friends in the Houston area who followed the advice of authorities, did not flee, and now are terrified with waters at their front door and no sign of abating.

It is unfathomable that some jpp conservatives have the worship of Donald J. Drumpf first and foremost in their minds.

"If, then, I were asked for the most important advice I could give, that which I considered to be the most useful to the men of our century, I should simply say: in the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.” -- Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy

Just listened to a lady named Portia on FOX being interviewed in the rain on the a flooded street there. She said (paraphrased) "This is crazy, it's getting worse and the Mayor didn't issue an evacuation order? My family would have been long gone out of the area last night if he would have told us. (shakes her head) This is crazy."

“My heart continues to be heavy for the good people of South Texas as they begin to deal with the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey—and the flood waters are still rising in many areas,” said Franklin Graham, Samaritan’s Purse president. “We have pre-positioned Samaritan’s Purse disaster relief trucks and materials outside Dallas and will be moving into the hardest hit areas as soon as we are given the all-clear by the state authorities. We hope that over the next few months there will be thousands of volunteers who will want to come and help those whose homes have been damaged by this destructive storm.”

^They always show up. They were there during that flood in Baton Rouge that candidate Trump met up with while Obama stayed in Martha's Vineyard.
