The Disconnect

I'm still trying to get my mind around the disconnect between federal officials and those on the ground in hurricane-ravaged areas. The gap is roughly is as follows. Feds: We are rapidly implementing the hugest disaster response effort in the history of the country, if not the world. Locals (and reporters in the area): That response is completely inadequate to address the magnitude of the tragedy.

What if both sides turn out to be right? It's certainly not out of the question.
