There are still a lot of parallels. You have an inadequate building
code with houses that were not up to the weather and thousands of
people who ignored the evacuation order.

NOLA was levee failure.
No code protects a house from 8 feet of rushing storm surge.
Get used to it.

When you build at or below sea-level you are just one wave away from a
disaster.

They also seemed to ignore the warnings about having several days of
supplies and a hurricane kit with flashlights and other tools they
need. Some guy was selling flashlights for $20.
We also see FEMA still takes over a week to actually do anything of
consequence in spite of white victims, 8 years of reforms and a
democratic president.

Storm came Tuesday. This is Friday. FEMA is all over the place.
Learn to count, Mr Perfect.

Exactly what is FEMA doing?

Again it is the US military to the rescue, flying in power company
trucks from California (probably to be sure they are union). The navy
is bringing in ships for logistic support and the national guard is
doing what they always do in emergencies, backing up first
responders..

Only crackers believe your anti-union bull**** paranoia.
Prove it.
The Nat Guard always provides help. They are auxiliary cops.

Tell all of the National Guard units who went to war over the past
decade that they are just auxiliary cops.

The Navy is doing squat.

No orders, no go.

20 guys with front end loaders can do more good clearing roads than the
entire Navy, and they'll do it before the Navy gets a single ship
underway. Navy isn't needed.

Not if they don't have the fuel to run the equipment.

And it won't matter if the loader drivers are union or not.

It does in New Jersey.
