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.

It's interesting, I've been thinking the same thing, that the coverage has been muted. The same thing happened a couple of years ago when there was massive flooding in upstate NY; a number of small towns were basically destroyed by the flooding, and yet there wasn't a whole lot of coverage about it. It seems like the same thing is happening here.
I really feel for the people in the Midwest, they're getting hit hard out there.
