Crazy.  Although I thought it would be a lot worse.

Question .... how much experince is required to control a hurricane? 

[Kaw1000]

I wonder if their insurance will cost more, or if they'll be allowed to rebuild after this...

Certainly not Bush's fault there was a hurricane.  Have been and will be hurricanes for millenia.  I think people were looking, and placing the blame on the head of government who put his cronie in charge of FEMA and the subsequent debacle that ensued in New Orleans.  So, pretty much the response to a known issue, a hurricane, is what people have issues with.  An extremely large national disaster encompasses FEMA's responsibility and therefore the responsibility of the man in charge of that organization, extrapolated to the man who gave him the job.  If my boss gives me a job, and I blow up the lab, we both get fired.


Just like they will point out that there are supplies sitting in trucks right now, with hundreds of drivers getting 800$ per day on taxpayer expense, because they can't figure out where to put them.

I've drank a lot of beer at Crystal Beach and had some Animal House like memories from there.  There's a small pizza joint there, too, not far from the ferry that I loved going to.  I hope they rebuild.

If it is anything like what happened in Orange Beach, AL after Ivan came through; which was a Cat 3 at landfall; then you will understand that while they are awful natural disasters they aren't anything that humans can and will overcome. When Ivan hit the beach at Gulf Shores, AL and Orange Beach, AL the wall of water was reported at 14 feet high and the surge went in about a mile and a half before breaking on a creek and not continuing inland.

I am sorry that people died but those dummy's should have left when they had the chance. It is the same as when Katrina came in and idiots didn't leave.

HOWEVER one should note that the same FEMA director which began overseeing the cleanup and supplies for Ivan is the same one that was forced out after "dropping" the ball with Katrina.

the mayor of new Orleans is not named FEMA, nor was the governor of louisiana.
