i was there...in dam-b texas. right between jasper and woodville on 190. with my grandma. her birthday is sept. 26th and her name is mattie alice strawther owens...she was killed in a car wreck before christmas. what the hell was that..an 84 year old christian who never done any wrong..to survive a hurricane like that only to be taken by a selfish cell phone user?

We haven't had the media attention or the financial dollars that New Orleans has received for Katrina, even though the devestation from Rita was just as bad. Thanks for letting people know that we are still trying to rebuild here! Thanks also go out to the people from all over the country that have come to our small communities and helped!

@noobkillaman actually rita was threatening to hit houston, which is the 4th biggest city in the US, and much much larger than new orleans (it has 5 million people, N.O. has about 1 million). What about ike? a hurricane that was just as bad as katrina in terms of storm surge and winds that hit houston 2 years ago? it affected 5 million people and was very destructive too, but we didnt get media attention and financial support from ike

First we got rita then we got ike!  :'(

what category was hurricane rita?

[noobkillaman]

i understand u lost houses and many things because of rita, but u didnt get same financial support and media ATTENTION AS KATRINA BECAUSE IT JUST WASNT THE SAME SCALE

millions of people lived in ht ehuge city of new orleans, while only a few thousand people live in the small communities along the northern texas shore

To me Rita was worse by different means. The evacuation of Galvaston to Houston coming towards louisiana was devistaing days before the hurricane hit, cars caught on fire, a bus exploded. then the hurricane turned to where the people had fled to saftey. New Orleans got flooded, they knew it was going to happen when the hurricane hit.I saw pic of Cameron parish,and they had trees WRAPPED around houses,Like a ball of mudd!Storm surge reached 3 miles south of lafayette parish.thats over 50 miles!
