I love how I was watching people drink free Starbucks and eating KFC at some baseball stadium in Whales Vagina this morning. I started to think about the comparison to this vs. the superdome in LA 2 years ago. Seemed like people were just happy to not get shanked in the bathroom of the superdome.
FEMA response in CALI
- Thread starter stosh
- Start date
Maybe the Superdome doesn't serve Starbucks.
Where's that "Layers of Flavor" vomit pic when you need it?
"These people are so poor, and so black..."
We just like to party
Together at last!
It's the Cajun Pumpkin Extra Crispy Mocha Gravy Frappachino Chicken Bowl!
we dont need no water!!!!!!!!!!!...........
To be honest, the superdome problems could have been prevented by airlifting fried chicken and collared greens in. </racist stereotype>
Why don't they start the fires in Hollywood Fake Paradise?
My thoughts exactly.
Edit: I just saw a quick interview with some middle aged dude in a suit and I quote "who cares, insurance will cover it all anyway"
yes while the quick fema response time is a little suspect when compared to that of 2 years ago in new orleans, you do have to realize that it's a completely different disaster in a completely different state.
Wasn't it started by high winds knocking over power lines?
Bush started it.
The F in FEMA is for FEDERAL not S for STATE.
That aside they had ample warning in N.O. as well.
Perhaps if only New Orleans had caught on fire right after the flooding. 
San Diego needs a beer looter.
One thing I never had a problem is the busing of citizens out of town.
Where were these people headed to? Towns as close as Gretna (across the river) sealed off the bridge so no one could cross over.
That would be more of a San Francisco beer looter wouldn't it???I'm guessing it would look something like this.
Fixed.
True, they knew for a week that a BIG hurricane was coming their way.
We so cal peeps knew santa ana's were comin a week ago and knew that if fires started it would be bad.
only difference... soCal citizens took upon themselves to GTFO when needed (for the most part) and had the humanity to help, not only their neighbors, but total strangers
And in CA, that chicken is probably free-range, vegetarian-fed, hormone free and fried without trans fats.
I personally think the situations are quite different, but then again I was not in New Orleans during the hurricane.
Although the fires here are incredibly destructive, I don't think that the destruction is as widespread and severe as the hurricane/floods of Katrina. All those people that you see at Qualcomm stadium are drinking Starbucks and whatnot because the area around the stadium and most of the coastal region is not affected much by the fires.
One thing I notice here is that everyone is being extremely helpful to their neighbors...the outpour of support on every level is incredible. That's what you get for living in America's finest city though.

exactly...the level of destruction is not even comparable...D
What! No KF/Bell?!? Nothing complements fried chicken like refried beans, imitation guacamole and salsa.
And so close to Mexico too

Dude, taco bell is definately not Mexican food. You must be from the east coast or somethingWhat! No KF/Bell?!? Nothing complements fried chicken like refried beans, imitation guacamole and salsa.

Burn Motherf---er burn.
BTW S.D. vs. N.O. simple money talks b.s. swims in it's own filth.

You are a fvcking dick.
I was talking to a buddy and said "I can't beleive some idiot hasn't started sh!t regarding the responses between New Orleans and now SoCal."
You can look at it a few ways.
- They extent of the disaster isn't comparable.
- CA are more mobile (to get out of harms way)
- The place people gathered for shelter isn't smack dab in the middle of the fire.
- FEMA got chewed up for NewOrleans, so they did better
- If the whole CA coast went up in a fire ball (and people decided they could ride it out) and help could not approach the area for a couple days, then there would be a lot of dead SoCal people too.
Instead it becomes a race thing.
Wild fire and a Hurricane are not on the same level of disasters.
