Most of the gulf states hit by the storm, even parts of Florida are still in shambles.
Basically I think it was such an overwhelming event, no one was prepared for, there's no way to handle all the work that needs to be done.
Main problem is cleaning up all the debris and putting it where? There's no plan and no place to put it all.
Then you have most of the population long gone. So who do you hire to do the work? There's no where to house that many workers and no business infrastructure to support the retailing logistics needed.
FEMA obvioulsy dropped the ball and still doesn't know which end is up. But you should never expect much from a bureaucratic agency anyways.
Now you have the levee issue. The Army Corp of Engineers says all they can do is try to get it back up to Cat 3 strength again. So what's the point of that? All it will take is one more strike and the whole place will be a disaster all over again.
And lastly who's picking up the tab? Feds don't want to it seems, State is low on cash, and the City is already teetering on bankruptcy. Even the charities are fucked up. Out of the $3 Billion donated the charities still are holding on to over $1 Billion that hasn't been disbursed.
Bottom line they're fucked.
