you don't think it would have been intelligent to realize that a category four hurricane was going to cause SOME need for supplies? Why did it take three days to get them there? Shit, the flood I was in was an unnamed tropical storm that got stuck over Texas hill country for four days. The forecast had been "partly cloudy." And on day 2 we had water and food coming in. Granted the roads that washed out were not the main roads into town, it still shows what a little organization can do. I find it curious that you can blame welfare mothers and nursing home residents for not being prepared, but you think it's ok for people drawing executive salaries to not be ready.
