That's right - I notice that reporters are picking people up in their
boats. You'd think a flooded area like that would be very navigable.
Being a coastal and generally watery region there must be any
number of large and small recreational/utility/military water craft.
And as you say, hovercraft could get to places boats couldn't. I
find the apparent unprepared headless chicken bureaucracy thing
inexplicable and very sad
