The entire thing is such a waste. The knowing before hand, the lack of preparation, the lack of IMMEDIATE help, the turning away of additional help, the continuing lack of help, the timeliness of it all....it's a bad situation over and over and over again. Funny how aid made it halfway around the world to folks in other natural disasters but our own people were left dying out on the highways.

It makes me think twice about how to take care of my own family and how we are prepared.

There are lots of news reports out there but the media (television, anyway) is owned by a handful of folks....we see what they want us to see...nothing more. Pretty scary, actually.
