As to the response after Katrina -

There was ZERO support. Do you remember to people stranded at the Convention Center? They made it there under their own power and were left while buses idled outside the city for lack of drivers. They tried walking out - in Sept. heat, across the Crescent City Connection Bridge, and were turned away by police who fired over there heads.

While the CG was fantastic, much of the rescue effort was citizens helping citizens. Good for you and your chainsaws - I've done that - but this was another animal entirely.
