It's great to see the companies, like the one I work for, on the ball on this one with donations, as was done with the Tsunami in Asia.
Here at the Internet Help desk, that entire area overall does not work(Baton Rouge, La. seems to be mostly ok, though) and have been loaded with outage calls. Thankfully, most people are understanding...the truth is; the technicians down there are people too(*gasp*) and they had too have to care of themselves and families first and foremost. Truthbetold we are OVERWHELMED, we were never prepared for something like this! Overtime left and right. Slowly but surely, things are being taken care of, unfortunately we just don't know when service will be restored.
It's just, from my stand point, if other companies are anything like that, then I can see and understand the sluggish progress in those areas. It's not easy.
Currently, I am without Cable TV, because simply I just don't watch it enough to need it. So like Allen, I didn't know the seriousness of it until I read "Evacuation" and "Chaos". Knowing the media, it's probably has some exaggerations, but seeing the pictures of it, looks like it's not far from the truth.
I see all over the news that, that it seems to be focusing on the negative side which really theres hardly any positives except the fact that in situations like this, it brings out the best in people.
Hopes and Thoughts are with them.
