I've heard three different times from new outlets over the past two days that right now, at this point, it's three times worse than Katrina....yet it seems like it is far less publicized. Maybe it's because people up there aren't shooting at cops and helicopters...I dunno, haha.
When Katrina happened you would have thought the world was ending....chaos, mass hysteria.
I mean hell, I haven't even heard anyone blame the natural disaster on Bush yet.....something's gotta give.

I get most of my news from news websites, and there's been a good amount of coverage as far as I can tell. I have noticed, though, that TV isn't giving the flood that much coverage (at least not in the DFW area). Since coverage began, I thought the flood received less airtime because of the population density of the area (appx 1 million people in New Orleans vs. a seemingly similar amount spread over a larger area).
