[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 225495, member: 10"] There is no question the damage was severe. Katrina destroyed much more of the gulf coast then just N.O. but you did not hear ALOT about those areas, why? Because they took care of themselves and did not sit around for the federal government to come and save their life. Its simply a matter of survival instinct. are you going to sit there and DIE or are you going to fight to protect your self. I do not understand how you could just sit around and wait to die. My only real point was how ungreatful many have been this time around and seem to do nothing but complain. I do not understand that. I too have set here and watched the news when they were talking about catagory 1 hurrican winds and laughed a bit. I would say 20% of the year we have winds far greater then that and getting catagory 2 and 3 winds are certainly not uncommon. When they have to shut the interstates down regularly so that semi-trucks don't get literally blown off the highway that is some wind. I agree, we all have situations and conditions around the country that can be deadly, extreme heat, extreme cold, extreme winds, tornados, hurricanes, extreme snow, earthquakes. There are very few areas that do not have some type of severe and deadly weather or natural occurances sometime of the year. That said, why is it that it seems there is only a small amount of people that feel they need their bottoms powdered for everything that happens. From Alabama to Texas, Katrina hammered the gulf coast, only New Orleans citizens rasied hell and why, BECAUSE some idiots decided it was a good idea to build a city below sea level and not only that but allowed the security of those protective walls to degrade. IT was never a questions of if, only of when. And they all set around and waited for it to happen, IT HAPPENED!!! Anyway, we all have harsh times to deal with, the very large majority of us prepare and protect ourselves and our families so that when the federal government shows up to help, they can simply turn around and go home!!! It just amazes me that this small group of people continue to complain when they are being helped. That is sad. [/QUOTE]
