CNN is calling it Killer Katrina.
I think the news people are very selfish. They're saying nothing about what all the alligators should do, where they should evacuate to.

I hope you're right goozebump. Too much American history there

the news just said "people exposed to the storm WILL die"

regardless, you're talkin' at least in the $20 Billion USD range in clean up, that's more than the current war.
//Hey I know, let's ask other countries for help!

It's not so much f*cked up as it is Mother Nature talking back to us. Run from her when she gets pissed.
It'll all clear over...

Levees. That's NO's answer. Better hope they hold up.
Sh*t is still gonna' get tortured in a big way.
Federal government will step in and dump 100's of millions for the damage.
The US is tooooooooo big landwise.

it is stupid to say people evacuated for nothing, there was no sign of the hurricane moving eastwards, it is only luck.
however there are other towns in that area that got the whole deal.
