Florida gets lots of practice. Florida also drains off three edges and sits
above (or just above) water for the most part.
NO has had some real corruption issues in the past (and probably still has them).
The FED leadership has also fallen in quality since Charley. The real leaders are
retiring and the *** kissing sycophants have taken over.
Me, I'm still packed (since 1 Sep) and ready to go help fix communication issues
in the gulf but my bosses still haven't heard from their bosses boss if we will
be needed.

i re-read your post and this is certainly the implication that i
interpreted. you went from talking about the current administration to
talking about building the levee. since you say thats not what you
meant i accept that, and im just pointing out why your message was
interpreted that way.
