Re: FEMA pulling out - regular military moving in (none / 0)

I saw the original picture yesterday - it was bigger and there were many more school buses on the original, but I can not find it anymore.

What I do not understand is why these buses have not been used for the evacuation of those people with out a car.

Uh, maybe because they're under six feet of water?

Why were they not moved to high-ground beforehand? We had time.

Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes

Well, the evacuation started bevor the water was in - so why have they not been used?

I don't know, maybe the drivers were all evacuated. Why do you just think that there's some magic spell that can be cast to solve the problems resulting from a catastrophe like this?

Who said anything about a magic spell? There are practical things that can be done before, during, and after a disaster. Many of these were not done. That's what people are questioning. No one is thinking there's a magic spell.

Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes
