In some of my previous posts, I have ranted like crazy about New Orleans getting all the attention from Katrina, when the damage compared to mississippi, was minimal. Heres a link to a Yahoo News front cover story. LINK
Mississippi has been completely forgotten in the media (i hate the corporate media whores anyways) and New Orleans has been getting the vast majority of the coverage. In the article it states some sobering facts, "125 billion in estimated damage, 236 dead, 65,380 houses destroyed.
Louisiana's death toll stands at 1,078. More than 6,000 homes in New Orleans and neighboring St. Bernard Parish may have to be demolished"
hrmmmmm. lets do the math here. i drove through there going to visit family on the mississippi Gulf Coast, the destruction is totally indescribable. total forrests of trees, snapped in half like a nuclear bomb went off or something. My older brother who lives 70 MILES INLAND, told me the city where he lives, and works for, recorded sustained winds over 120MPH!!! katrina skirted new orleans, its the levys that broke (like everyone told them they would) that did all the damage. whats sad is that the media has once again manipulated stories and changed the focus and direction of the american public not directly involved with this catastrophy. too bad.
