Didn't we learn this in the aftermath of Katrina???
Doesn't seem to be keeping the media happy - maybe this is one of the problems when trying to coordinate state aid in a federal country?
Still, I bet it's a whole lot better than in Bangladesh, or Thailand, Turkey or Iran though where there have been real major disasters?
There was a lot of criticism over in the UK after some recent flooding too.
Been there...Done that >:mad >:mad ::**. At least the ass kicking we got from nature was HONEST.(not to mention "made to fail " Levees)Quote:

everything everywhere is a fucken joke. Dont you get the trend. it's chaos! Life is chaos on a grand scale. You do not fight the chaos or it become more angry.
You misunderstand me. There are still people living in trailers after the Katrina business. The "aid" these people have gotten is subpar, by far. A lot of them a SOL solely because they were told they didn't need flood insurance before the disaster or told the insurance covered the floors but not the walls or something insane like that. For it to be happening a second time is indicative that the system needs a complete overhaul.Quote:

They tried to say it was ONLY Rainfall. sorry for the rant man but this s!!! still gets me Pissed beyond belief.Your totally right..The system is Broke big time.Quote:

I was one of the lucky ones that didn't have to live in a trailer..My Buisness survived Damage.
.....maybe they are just trying to go "Green".....I am sure Al Gore is proud of our Green areas where they have no electricity and power.....ahhhh nature DOES love humans.
The insurance companies were the true villains of Katrina.....I am not someone who is going to sit on my ass and wait for the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to do anything.
God Bless those people, there and that were affected by Katrina.....government failed on basically every level in that instance
