but were thrown out by the National Guard that afternoon when they brought rescued people in.

The National Guard was under orders to seal the city. That monumental idiot Chertoff had rewritten the FEMA guide to reflect DHS concerns, in such a way that it treated natural disasters like contagion zones.

I know a nurse who sat on the tarmac on I-10 just outside the city for 5 days because the Guard wouldn't let the state disaster response team in.

And Chertoff still has his job.
