It hasn't been 5 days yet. The storm hit on Monday morning.

Things got significantly worse on Tuesday when major breaches opened in
levees.

The disaster area covers 90,000 square miles. (233,100 square kilometers)

Here's a story indicating rescuers were having trouble getting to the area:

It was last updated on Wednesday just after noon in the UK - very early
morning in the disaster area. It reflects information gathered on Tuesday.

Sure it would be nice if we could have gotten enough people and supplies
in sooner - but it's not a trivial task.

And the whole of England itself is about 50,000 square miles.

Two million gallon oil storage tank near Venis,Louisiana,leaking into
the Mississippi River. www.drudgereport.com I heard from someone
earlier today there are two oil tankers (Ships) waiting in New Orleans
so the oil can be offloaded for the refineries.Two oil tankers,two
million gallons of oil each.Someone shot holes in the sides of the oil
tankers and they are leaking.I dont know if it is true or not.I think
that is some tough steel plates on the sides of those oil tankers and I
think some of them are double hulled,or whatever it's called.It must be
some very powerfull Rifles and ammo that can shoot holes in the sides of
those oil tankers.
