But their hesitance after Gustav to allow residents to quickly return to areas that lacked basic services like electricity, grocery stores and gas stations brought the same accusations. In addition, their heightened rhetoric as Gustav approached - New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin at one point said it could be "the storm of the century" - only hurts their credibility...
