[QUOTE]Originally posted by Chadwick: [QB] Look at it this way, if you remember as i do watching the news after the hurrican had passed there was no indication of any levee failure that day or into the night. I do not think it was until the next day that neworleans even started to flood. Thus at that point it was not NEARLY the rescue response emergency the day of the storm (the storm hit land in the morning), as it was after flooding began in NO. I even remenber watching tv reporters standing in the streets of neworleans touting a near miss for the city and that the levees were hodling at that time. This was in the late afternoon after the storm passed. Those same streets were not under water for another 24 hours. Thus the flooding problem arose almost a full day after the storm hit. And the true crisis didnt arise until that time. Before that it was just alot of property damage and 110 dead in Mississipi, but a sigh of relief for having "missed" NewOrleans. This may be what he was refering to. His assessment may have been more reffering to "well we thought it had missed neworleans enough to not cause the storm surge and rising waters that would break the levees. Honestly I give him the benefit of the doubt at this point in that regard. It was still a stupid thing for a man whom is the single most sought after target to take quotes out of context to say.
