Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 3479750, member: 37"] You're preaching to the choir. I'll go one step further. The reaction outside of the U.S. was strong enough to take the situation seriously. We had been fortunate to see development of this problem elsewhere. The slow reaction in this country was egregious imo. We've increased the odds of having a worse case scenario. To be clear probability does not mean definitely. There are factors that can occur naturally which could eliminate the worse case scenario in spite of the incompetence. But that's relying on pure luck. We issue evacuations when a hurricane is approaching an area knowing that there is only a probability of the hurricane making landfall and in spite of many of those predictions in the past not happening. We should have treated this natural threat the same way. [/QUOTE]
