I was pretty impressed with all the planning that went into the pre hurricane prepartion. The contra flow, which is turning certain lanes of the interstate and highway into one ways out of the city, went fairly well. A lot better than last time.
But than after the hurricane it was like no one was in charge. Or at least no one had a plan. From some of the news reports I've heard that is pretty much the truth too. One government agency wouldn't do something cause they thought the other agency was resonsible for that while that agency thought it couldn't do it cause another agency was supposed to do it.....and people were trapped and lost and in the end people died.
It seemed like it took forever to get troops into the city. It seemed like it took forever to get food and water supplies into the city. People were trapped on top of parts of the elevated highways surronded by water and left there for days.
There was no communication between the people supposedly running the rescue operations.
Everyone assumed that cell phones would work I think. My cell phone has not worked since the first day of the hurricane.
Who's in charge?
No one it looked like.
