No, I didn't. It was an utter failure. It took them how long to rescue
folks from the Superdome? And then the cleanup from the Superdome was so
bad, demolition looked like it would be faster and easier for a time. I
have a hard time prolonging a major humanitarian disaster "help."
Boy Scouts have historically done better with fewer resources in worse
conditions than Katrina.
