One day before the storm even hit:

Originally posted by ogvh5150 Those of you in the US that sent money away for those tsunami victims better open up your pocketbooks again. It looks to be just as worse if not at least as worse.

There are more too, but just an example of the ideocy of how slow this work was going and how pathetic it is that these government officials are saying that they could never predict what happend. Or perhaps they should simply take PDD more seriously?

Thanks for my quote.

Th reason I said that was because of a scientist/meteorologist that worried, on either cnn or fox, that this storm would cause widespread damage and death.

I found that that mans' pleas to be sincere and truthful. I didn't want it to be prophetic.

The last cat5 storm to hit was Andrew during 1992 back when Poppy Bush was pres. And that we all know was a huge disaster.

You're not really surprised, are you? I think it's quite clear that the more intelligent members of this forum are far better reasoners than even the "sharp" ones in the Bush administration.
Oh yeah, and to be fair, I think you need to consider that it's a lot cheaper to state something on a message board, than ordering a city to be evacuated and deploying the army.

or start reading Popular Science

you did not just put MisterOpus1 in the same category as George Smiley and ogvh5150

Hurricanes are tricky acts of God. They are are savage and unpredictable. Katrina was a Category 4 storm that hit New Orleans. What if Hurricane Camille (in 1969) hit Louisiana head on instead of Mississippi?

Wikipedia: Hurricane Camille
Or a more modern context would be Hurricane Andrew in 1992.

According to Wikipedia, New Orleans is directly hit with a hurricane every 14.3 years and indirectly every 4. The thing is that with a town such as this, didn't anyone predict this would happen? It was just a matter of time.

You can point fingers at all levels of government from the mayor, to the governor, ultimately the president.

Star Tribune: Louisiana pork projects

Show me an honest politician.

And there is the issue of buses that he City of New Orleans could have used.
Finally, many of the people of New Orleans were stubborn and wanted to stay. Out of the 1.3 million in the New Orleans metro area, roughly 300,000 remained by choice or as their current circumstances permitted (no transportation).

What will be, will be. I hope for the best and a speedy recovery to the people and the city of New Orleans.

So I guess by statements such as those you believe when the news media tells you there are holes in the ozone or that trees need hugs too.
