I have been thinking of the same issues, although I neglected to post on them because it's usually more trouble than it's worth and I don't want to get into more arguments right now.
I've also been listening to a lot of coverage on how much this issue was documented beforehand and how little pre-hurricane help was provided. Both long-term (building up the defenses) and short term (evacuating in the days between when the warning was given and the hurricane hit) much more could have been done but wasn't. The really sad thing is that most of the victims were the poorer ones who had no means of leaving the city on short notice. Public transportation was virtually non-existent, and the national guard that usually steps in and provides much needed assistance in such efforts is off dying for a mistake.
