20 years ago today in my old blog: "UPI story of Nagin's latest evacuation order entitles it "Roust begins of New Orleans squatters"

20 years ago today:
BUSH “SATISFIED WITH THE RESPONSE”
STILL NO COMMAND AND CONTROL ESTABLISHED: Terry Ebbert, New Orleans Homeland Security Director: “This is a national emergency. This is a national disgrace. FEMA has been here three days, yet there is no command and control. We can send massive amounts of aid to tsunami victims, but we can’t bail out the city of New Orleans.”

20 years ago today: New Orleans Mayor Nagan tells Federal Goverment to "get off your asses".
Short radio interview over the telephone from the disaster area was probably the best thing Nagan ever did.
"I don't want to see anybody do anymore goddamn press conferences. Don't do another press conference until the resources are in this city."
CNN transcript I linked to on my blog at the time is still up:

From my old blog 20 years ago today, watching the Hurricane Katrina Federal Flood disaster on motel tv in evacuation.

I keep talking back to the tv as they give to me obviously wrong information about where and what various footage from New Orleans is. (Also, the repeated references to "Saint Bernard County"; Louisiana has Parishes, no counties.)1/5
