Before 9/11 the Federal Emergency Management Agency listed the three most likely catastrophic disasters facing America: a terrorist attack on New York, a major earthquake in San Francisco and a hurricane strike on New Orleans. "The New Orleans hurricane scenario," The Houston Chronicle wrote in December 2001, "may be the deadliest of all." It described a potential catastrophe very much like the one now happening.

Why do you feel that slightly behind is never a nice angle? I feel it does have its merits every now and again!

Surely it's not just me. This isn't about Katrina or FEMA or BUSH. This isn't about a comparison with the Tsunami. This isn't about racism.
This is about - THE IDIOTS Idiots who built a timebomb (New Orleans) under the sea. This is also about the IDIOTS (each Government) that did nothing to secure this town. Nature will always prevail. Reading these articles makes me mad, really mad.
If anyone considers re-building New Orleans without first securing it against a Category 10 hurricance or possible 50 ft surge (I know, the unheard of) then they will again be considered IDIOTS in my book.
I live in a house on a river. I can't even build a friggin tree house within a 100 year flood plain.................
Is it just me or is this really the point. CNN and Fox should stop saying this is all related to katrina. It's NOT, not anymore. Especially after reading these articles.
