good to see nuttin changed in the meantime 
didnt realized the things happened wit 'katrina'. dont got a tv anymore, cause it blew up a few weeks ago n im not a person whos reading much/many news on the internet.
seems like u got enough problems in the states right now without something like terrorists or politics.

i watched a program (which i can send you its 3.13gb though) which explains all about Katrina and New Orleans, i personaly blame the forfathers, you don't build a city that far below sea level, next to a salt lake (which is fed by the sea) and by the mississippi (or how ever you spell it). I also found out the the hurricane (tornadoe call it what ever) did very little damage, the the mini sunami that hit the city a fw hours after (called a storm surge and was 30ft high, which was a record breaker i think) but it was the downpour of rain which followed the storm, that flooded and killed many people. Most people where starting to return to therte homes at this point and where caugh off guard.
but new orlenas faults are
but new orlenas faults are
- below sea level
- trapped inbween to huge water masses
- in tornadoe allie
- has to relie on pumps to remove rain water (everyday use not just for removing the water there now)

you don't build a city when it has that many hazards, i still will never find the common sense the founds of la had, build a city next to a fault line!!!! that sounds like a good idea!!!!
perhaps it was not known about these faults, back when the city was first starting to be built. plus don't forget about the ever changing weather cycle, there are many things that happen to the weather that never used to. for eg. think about Britain, we NEVER used to get tornadoes, hurricanes yes but never the dreaded "twister" actually touching down. now we get them (mainly small ones) quite often up in the midlands area (Birmingham & Aston Villa to name a few).

you are i see
hurricanes and tornadoes are not the same thing (british explaination). Hurricanes are just very high gale force winds, not to mention being invisible to the eye. Tornadoes/twisters, are exactly what you see in the movies, those visible funnel clouds, that touch down to earth. dont forget that a tornado is NOT counted as one UNLESS it actually touches earth. so in retrospect NO we get 100s of tornadoes FORMING but not actually touching down.
no its only within the last few years to a decade that extreme/exotic weather has started forming in Britain. so of course you only being what 16/17 would only remember the last decade or so. what i said is quoted from a 97 year old (family friend) who has lived in Britain all his life, only leaving to fight in a world war, then coming straight back. so i think he knows at least a little bit more about Britain's weather than you.
but anyway this is now straying away from

ok political thread here but all i want to say they knew 10 years ago that something lke that would happen so they could prevent it or just take a simple insurance to cover the damage. i mean holland is below sealevel but you don't see any floods here, it is all about management
