Hurricanes are unstoppable,and when Karina hit, most people didn`t take it seriously,because they had seen many others veer off into florida and texas.New Orleans is below sea level,that area is only suitable for alligators and other swamp creatures,it is sinking,it no longer gets sediment from the missippi which made possible for New Orleans to excist in the first place! I lived in downtown san francisco in `89 when president BILL CLINTON was president when the loma prieta earquake hit,in 89 george bush was unknown,I never saw federal or state or anything offering aid of anykind. The RED CROSS was offering some sevives if you could prove you were local. local stores were charging otutrageaus prices for batteries, and water. DO NOT RELY ON GOVERNMENT. OBAMA SAYS RELY ON GOVERMENT,WE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU!
