If the government had initially kept the public updated on efforts to help those affected by the hurricane, I bet there would have been less misinformation. It did not sound like they were poised to be in position and ready for the task. In the absence of information people will speculate. Some of the misinformation I was reading on another article was so far fetched that a sane person would not believe it. My heart goes out to all affected by devastation! Condolences to family and friends for those who lost their lives.
