>>>Did you just say Katrina was weak when it hit the coast? Tell that to Missippians. Wow.

Good grief. Some of you are as sensitive as lib-tards. It was banter. I wanted to say "weaker" but that didn't really fit the phrase.

And so let me do the same thing ALL conservatives have to do when they hurt the sensitive feelings of the liberals (like Akin did): I didn't mean it was weak. WEAKER. It went from a 175 mph hurricane to barely a cat 3. I am speaking, of course, about strength...not impacts.

There....FEEEEEEEL better?

Katrina for a time was a cat 5 IIRC. And yes you are correct it did weaken considerably from what it was.

But more importantly it should be noted that most of the people who died in Katrina, especially those in NO, died because they, including state and city officials didn’t take the storm seriously.

I make no claims at being a weather forcaster, but I DID noticed this....flocks of seagulls in my area arrived over the weekend. To me, that’s a sure sign of some VERY bad weather.

I live at 1500’ about 40 miles SE of Clarksburg WV at almost the southern end of the USACoE’s Pittsburgh District.

My feelings weren’t hurt. You just sounded stupid.
