Thank goodness.

Preparation has been great. All politics aside, Bobby Jindal is an extremely sharp individual and this situation is right up his alley. From the beginning you could tell he wants no part of a failure similar to the Blanco/Nagin/Bush debacle that was Katrina. The situations with people needing to be rescued leaves me with one prevailing thought: Do these people have any remorse for being stupid and not heeding evacuation warnings? They are putting courageous rescuers in the line of danger unnecessarily.
