HURRICANE KATRINA


What can one say about Hurricane Katrina? An entire city has, for all practical purposes, been destroyed! What I have decided to do is simply gather some links to information that may give people a different perspective on the disaster. Please let me know if you find any of the things I provide useful.

Here is a home video of some of the damage. It gives a more personal look at the disaster:

What is amazing about this disaster is that people have been warned for years that this was very likely to happen. Yet the warnings went unheeded. Look at the following:
