1. Recommended for home page.

It's from October 2004. Freepers will say that m,akes it "too late to have made a difference". But this isn't a new phenomina they were reporting.

2. When do we hear "no one could have imagined" a hurricane would hit NO?

This has been worried about for a long time, and the federal authorities really fucked up big time dealing with it.

13. Thanks for posting this. Amazing..and they're not the only ones to predict

this disaster. The Picuyne (spelling); a Lousiana paper had a five part series on this last year. People in charge who should have planned knew and did nothing.

14. Just read this!!!!

"You can smell the petrodollars burning at Port Fourchon, the offshore oil industry's sprawling home port on the central Louisiana coast. Brawny helicopters shuttle 6,000 workers to the rigs from here each week, while hundreds of supply boats deliver everything from toilet paper to drinking water to drilling lube. A thousand trucks a day keep the port humming around the clock, yet Louisiana 1, the two-lane highway that connects it to the world, seems to flood every other high tide. During storms the port becomes an island, which is why port officials like Davie Breaux are clamoring for the state to build a 17-mile-long (27-kilometer-long) elevated highway to the port. It's also why Breaux thinks spending 14 billion dollars to save the coast would be a bargain. "

15. wake up people.... this is like "911"... it's just that we are now smarter

and can see thru TPTB's bullshit


In 2001, FEMA ranked a major hurricane strike on New Orleans as “among the three likeliest, most castastrophic disasters facing this country.” Bush slashed hurricane funding anyway. August 29, 2005 10:19
