Wha....?

Map of the counties that were declared in a state of emergency by Bush's declaration is here.

"Welcome to upside-down-land: the areas at risk for Katrina were quite remarkably the areas not included in Bush's declaration of emergency."

Weirdly, there's no rhyme or reason for the selection of counties (aka Parishes) - I had an evil thought that maybe only those that voted 'red' were included, but the author of this piece has already investigated and ruled that out.

So.

WTF, over.
