[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 948503, member: 1246"] Granted, Katrina was a natural disaster of epic proportions....people [U]were warned well ahead of time[/U]......it's not like a tornado or earthquake that happens in an instant. Many irresponsioble people saw an opportunity to have a hurricane party instead of leaving.....ride it out!! They are all dead. After the fact, I remember Gov't help wasn't allowed in 'til either the gov. or mayor asked for them to come and nobody asked. I don't remember the exact details. I do remember people just sitting and waiting for help......not old disabled people, just regular people. Awhile later there was a huge tornado in Iowa (I think) somewhere and right after, everyone was pitching in to clear debris and fix their town. They didn't wait around for the gov't to come. . . .and they had just a few minutes warning. This was a big difference that I noticed and remarked to my hubby. He thought the same thing too.
