Right now Isaac is still a tropical storm. But we all know how fickle these Atlantic cyclone systems can be. It could still draw enough strength from the warm waters of the Gulf to intensify into a major hurricane. And at the moment most of the computer models have it following the same track that Katrina did seven years ago.
I blogged a lot about Katrina and its aftermath in 2005. Most of it had to do with the failures of government at various levels, from the mayor's office on up. I don't want to do that again in 2012.
So let's be blunt...
Ray Nagin is not mayor of New Orleans anymore.
Kathleen Blanco is not governor of Louisiana anymore.
George W. Bush is not President of the United States anymore.
You folks still have time. My advice is to play it safe, take some initiative, and get the hell out of there right now.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Chris
