New Orleans and Tropical Storm Lee - Good News, Finally

Too often as of late have relief efforts failed, warning systems been too late, and evacuation orders been ignored.  This was not the case with Tropical Storm Lee, with which Obama's state of emergency order saw the evacuation of over a hundred thousand individuals in the United States.  At the time of one of the articles' writing, over 100,000 people had been evacuated with 14 casualties.  Considering the developmental level of the United States, this displacement will have much less of an impact on the population than, say, many times more than that being displaced due to conflicts in Africa.  All in all, the response to Lee can be counted as a success.
