As natural disasters do, Ernesto created havoc. But what did not happen (despite many boasts from Bush about greater preparedness) 
was protection of people from nature’s fury, evidenced from the appalling number of people (50 plus till date) killed by Ernesto, and this given that Ernesto has not even reached “hurricane” status – it softened into a tropical depression on September 2, 2006.

Earlier, it was the lack of resources and infrastructure failure, this time it’s the usage of resources & maintenance of infrastructure. Even though Bush has promised to put aside $110 billion for the same, New Orleans and Louisiana are still in debris and policy makers are busy blaming each other.
