For those of you who think the Feds are not moving fast enough breakdown the "Resues performed number". The levees broke at about 1PM last Monday...8 days ago. Let's assume that the rescue efforts did not even start until 1PM last Tuesday. That is still more than 3 people per minute that were rescued.

The MREs spread over the 182,000 people in shelters breaks down to 8 meals per day...starting the feedings at 1PM last Tuesday. We know they started later.

Sounds like a pretty damn good response once the Federal Government decided the panic-stricken Mayor and Governor could not do anything right.
