Hurricane Katrina - New Orleans

Hurricane Katrina was the costliest and one of the five deadliest hurricanes in the history of the United States. It was the sixth-strongest Atlantic hurricane ever recorded and the third-strongest hurricane on record that made landfall in the United States. Katrina formed on August 23 during the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season and caused devastation along much of the north-central Gulf Coast. The most severe loss of life and property damage occurred in New Orleans, Louisiana, which flooded as the levee system catastrophically failed, in many cases hours after the storm had moved inland.In Louisiana, the federal flood protection system in New Orleans failed in more than fifty places. Nearly every levee in metro New Orleans breached as Hurricane Katrina passed east of the city, subsequently flooding 80% of the city and many areas of neighboring parishes for weeks. At least 1,836 people lost their lives in Hurricane Katrina and in the subsequent floods, making it the deadliest U.S. hurricane since the 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane.

Yeah, yeah, blame it all on Bush. The Democrats didn't help either. None of the liberals offered to help. Blame Kennedy and the Clintons for starting the cutbacks.

Blame Mayor Ray Nagin, former Governor Kathleen Blanco, and disgraced/indicted Lousiana Congressman William Jefferson.

ALL DEMOCRATS!

I blame both parties, they are both sell outs!

Dems + GOP = USNWO

Ireland is my last resort.

Unless I wanted to take a chance and go try to survive in a third word country like the Phillipines or Bolivia or something. At least my US dollars might be actually worth something there for maybe the next 10 years!-LoL

If not I'm definately going to have to increase my gold and scrap metal collection, cuz the dollar is going down the crapper.

Yet Canada is not much better and in a few years will be even closer the way America is now.

But yes I hear you and am coming to Canada soon at least for a start. I may have to keep going to Europe but Canada is a start.

And still George Bush and his cohorts are not in jail... Amazing.
