Max, you have to agree with him to some degree. If there is a mandatory evac, the warnings from the National Weather Service are basically copied from the worst parts of the Bible, and Bush already declares NO a federal disaster area and you still choose not to leave... well, sorry, there are conquences to your actions. The people who couldn't leave but wanted to deserve pitty and help. The people that were recalcitrant I don't feel sorry for.

Okay, okay, wait a sec here, now. The first serious national aid reaching the imacted area four days after the event was PART OF A PLAN?!

The responses by everyone at the local, state, and fed level have given me the utmost assurance that the goverment could handle a dirty-nuke set off in the U.S.
