Our hearts go out to the Gulf states and NOLA

Ray Nagin, still mayor of New Orleans, says get out because, "This is very, very serious, and we need you to heed this warning." "We really don't have the resources to rescue you after this." Mandatory evacuation of city and surroundings announced.
FEMA administrator Paulison is out there with his proactive lingo. I hope for everyone's sake that it's not just PR, but an actual position his program has adopted. Good luck to all those in the path of Gustav.
Funny, but Katrina showed the failure of the government-small-enough-to-drown-in-a-bathtub system of government. I sincerely hope the powers that be learned their lesson.
