That is exactly what has me worried. The direct effects of this hurricane may not have hit us in Texas, but we will be taking in ~50,000-75,000 people who will have no where to go home to. With a massive influx of people, it brings new diseases that we are unprepared for. N.O. will probably be a cesspool for at least a few months, until the gov't can get their act together and actually ORGANIZE something. We thought the West Nile disease was bad? Wait until the mutated mosquito's in N.O. start following the population exodus. Bodies need to be buried and QUICKLY before we have another plague.
