  1. Biden will not be answering any questions about the government response. VP Harris is going to St. Louis in 4 months to survey the damage.

  2. Louisiana has a Democrat Governor and Democrat Mayor of New Orleans. ALL the people in charge of government preparation in Louisiana are Democrats.

  3.  @DebraJohnson  Actually, there was. I live in Florida and I was tracking this storm long before it became a hurricane and it was predicted to hit between Houston and Pensacola for more than a week before it even became a hurricane. And at the time they predicted it WOULD be a "major hurricane" (cat 3 or higher) due to conditions in the Gulf. That said, the time to prepare for hurricanes is before the season starts June 1. If you live in a hurricane prone area, you are prepared by June 1. Period. Nothing more to discuss. If you don't, it's on you! Some people make really stupid decisions. Stop making excuses for them. ALL of my preparations are done before Memorial day every year. ALL.

  4. I live in Florida. I have a concrete block home on relatively high ground (for Florida) with hurricane rated window covers, door covers, garage door reinforcement, standing seam metal roof and a dual fuel, whole house generator. My fuel, water and food supplies are all laid in by June 1 every year. It is part of the cost of living here. I get my money back by not having any snow removal costs and over $600/year discounts on my homeowners insurance. 😁 When we have been hit by hurricanes, it amounts to cleaning up some branches in the yard. And resetting the clock on the microwave when we switch to generator power. I end up doing more work to help my neighbors than doing anything to fix my home. I'm a serious DIY'er and the neighbors know who has the tools, and a portable generator to power them. Otherwise our life is little changed. No need for government. Otherwise, it would be like expecting the government to shovel snow off your driveway if you live in the north.

  5. Remember that Biden is President and someone that checked an identity politics box is FEMA director. Biden will not be taking any questions about the hurricane

  6.  @whiskers78753  Those people are going to be very disappointed in Biden's response.

  7.  @mikemorrel8312  The people responsible for every aspect of emergency response in Louisiana: Federal, State and Local are DEMOCRATS. Just because the people voted for Trump as President does NOT make it a "red state" The Governor of Louisiana is a Democrat.
