It's not exactly apples and oranges Hoss. It was real bad in the snow belt region. Nobody sat and waited for help, they got through it without many complaints. No, I don't want to leave my home, but I don't live below sea level either. I know you're not far from me, so you know about the floods we had here last here. The mighty Mohawk took over half our town. Not even 1/1000 on the scale of New Orleans, but we (I'm in the fire department)evacuated people quickly. The stubborn ones that stayed had to be taken out by boat or front loader later. It all comes down to choices. Some people in New Orleans made bad choices.
