Well this is going to be bad. I’m concerned for all the people who will lose their homes in this storm, and even more for those who couldn’t make it out. I wonder why the government doesn’t fly them out. Get a mess of transport planes, federalize a lot of airliners, and fly stranded citizens to disaster centers in other parts of the country. Sure, it would be costly and a logistical nightmare, but nothing compared to, say, the war.

Wouldn’t it make sense to have a disaster center for New Orleans residents in, for example, Soldiers’ Field in Chicago, where there stadium is not being hit by a hurricane?

Just thinking.
