Riffman ... A few thoughts :

1. Take a valium, have a drink, work out ... ANYTHING to calm your nerves. (edited for smiley face)

2. There is a HUGE relief effort already underway. However, rescue helicopters are being shot at, as are law enforcement personell on foot. That makes helping a little more difficult.

3. There is a 90,000 square mile area affected. Just finding everyone will be difficult.

4. People were warned to evacuate the city. Then they were ordered to. Thousands ignored these warnings.

5. And "Jerkoff?" ... Was THAT necessary ?

My prediction is that, when everything settles, The U.S. will have done 90+ % of the clean up and financial support. That is OK. We can handle it.

That being said, to those countries who have and will offer support, THANKS !
