6. Fish and Wildlife copters got there before any others

(or whatever they call that dept. in La.)

I remember seeing the copters work taking people off roofs. when the military got there they seemed to disappear.

I've never seen any report about the great work they did.

7. Not at all surprizing.

A soul-less administration responds accordingly. With a K&R, though, to underscore how tuly morally corrupt this country has become.
