New Orleans

Terrible what's happening along the Southern Coast of Louisiana. When I visited Tennesse, we took a drive down south and I think of how awful it must be for everyone, across such a huge area. It looks again like the authorities are failing to act decisively and support the relief effort, that help is only just arriving, a week after the levees burst and the flood water rose. Again the people who really need help are the poor and disadvantaged, it just looks like no provision was made for senarios caused by hurricane Katrina.
