Katrina timeline

Rick Moran has compiled an excellent timeline on Katrina and the response effort.

I'm left with the same questions and thoughts that I had before. If there's a significant failure on the part of the President or FEMA or anyone in the Federal government, I don't see it. I don't see any evidence of the Federal hierarchy taking the situation lightly. I don't see any evidence of people failing to act. I do see a New Orleans-centric focus to everything, when the actual disaster covered hundreds, if not thousands, of square miles, the vast majority of which are not in New Orleans. I do not see any evidence that there has not been as much done since the storm hit as could reasonably be expected.
