In article , Gunner says...

I continue to be fascinated by the reporters and talking heads
babbling about weeks or a month before power to most areas is
restored. Frankly...if anyone does the research, you will find that
in many places..the entire..entire..entire infrastructure is gone.
Missing. Left. No More there. Power may be restored in months..but it
will be Years before many folks will be able to simply flush a toilet
or turn on a tap and get potable water.

Well ya got that right. I think folks don't realize how large the
affected area really is, because the press/TV coverage is concentrating
on the New Orleans issue.

I honestly think we're gonna need some of those troops/supplies/money
that's being shipped overseas to sort this out. We can't be
fighting a war on two fronts at once.
