Default Wow, what a headache this thread causes

I don't know everything. I think I've made that clear enough. But I do have some level of common sense. And so I cannot believe that people don't see how much more could have been done much earlier. I'd like to focus on how wonderful it is that so many people are okay but thousands of people aren't!

I'm actually there, more so than pretty much everyone on here, am I right? I've seen many of the things that others have only read about. No, that doesn't make me better than anyone or anything of the sort; I just happen to be practically in the middle of it without actually being in it. It's just plain to me that more should have been done. It just blows my mind that someone would say otherwise.

Another thing about people who didn't leave, whether they could or did not have the means--this is Louisiana. It's like hurricane central here. It seems like we're told all the time that "this is gonna be the big one" and it never is. People have been hearing that all their lives. Is it such a shock that a lot of people would have considered this one another false alarm?
