I don't know if you found this to be the case, but in my visit to New Orleans in January, I was thoroghly amazed at how upbeat and postive the firefighters and people are down there after all they went through and the way local and federal governments have treated them.
Pray that Gustav spares New Orleans more misery.[/quote]
We often think that our department has it bad (we meaning all of us), but usually there are departments that are much worse off. It is a real tragedy that 3 years after this, the city of New Orleans is still in the condition that it is. It is great to hear that the firefighters and citizens are upbeat about their situation, all things considered.
I too pray that Gustav will spare this city, as well as the U.S. as a whole!
