And of course, the highly reported refueling failure on the main highways out of Houston.
Just so you're also aware, and I won't show it because it is just too damn disturbing, a photo is circulating on the Internet(s) of a man who apparently tried to escape over his fence during Katrina. He is still there, hanging by his waist over said fence, as of September 20.
But you know, the ink is dry on all the high-dollar reconstruction contracts.
