Bottom line is some people chose not to heed the gravitas of the warning,and are dead because of laziness.where I live you don't get that option with earthquakes.These blowhards can pontificate all day assigning blame,but in the end the bigger picture is history will relate that Katrina was not an anomoly,as much as a harbinger for the future of "normal" tropical cyclonic weather.Blame it on those aerosol hair spray cans yo momma used for her beehive back when your 69 was rolling down the line-the earth is in a paradyne.. we have pretty much poisoned it since the industrial age(did you know they are furnishing welding glasses to people in the highest elevations in peru because they are going blind from a hole in the ozone?)This was a perfect storm,was it the only one?
