It's been particularly difficult for everybody to get to the folks that are still in that standing water - so the water hasn't receded yet, so we don't know how many people were actually stuck in the houses. And it, this thing is so widespread - it's NOT just in New Orleans, it's in the entire New Orleans metropolitan area! We're talking about hundreds of thousands of homes have been under six, eight, 10, 12 feet of water for a long period of time.

We've tried to educate people over the years. If you're not in a high-risk area, not in danger of flooding or intense winds, stay at home, hunker down, or go to a shelter. If you're going to evacuate, go 10 or 20 miles, not hundreds.

Revenue departments have many, many more sweeping powers than any other agency or private collections firm would have under fair debt collection laws. So now what you'll have is revenue agents who are used to using those broad powers going after people who owe court fines or student loans.
