Fox news was reporting it as it was happening, Alan Day. That's because one of their teams was stranded on the highway overpass where people were seeking refuge from the rising floodwaters along with the other people, right from the beginning. I saw it being reported as it was happening on other news outlets, and it was also being discussed in quite a few places on the internet at the same time. People here in the Mudcat were discussing it as it was happening, and long before Bush claims to have known about it. The threads right here in the Mudcat from those days provide all the evidence you need.

I knew what was going on there as it was happening. It's pretty inexcusable for the general population to be more well informed than "the leader of the free world", and the richest, most powerful country in the world. Don't you think?
