I do question people's "sanity" to stay when they knew a category 5 hurricane was coming. They even went around on buses with bullhorns telling people to get out of town. .. I mean category one, I might stay myself, 2 is iffy, 3 or above I'm on the first bus out of town. And if I did stay and my house got flooded and I was trapped, I wouldn't blame the federal government for my incompetence... If you want to get pissed off, how about being pissed off that all of that infrastructure was built below sea level to begin with, and most of it was inside the 100 year flood plain. Better yet, how about them rebuilding a lot of it, still within the 100 year flood plain and once again below sea level. What I love is the higher insurance premiums everyone had to pay to cover the cost to rebuild after Katrina, and now they're only setting themselves up for Epic fail again. Just my two cents on Katrina, since this thread went there.
