It is a city known for Voodoo, partying in the French Quarter/Bourbon Street (and Fat City), as well as strip joints...

This hurricane is going to do damage to communities from Florida to maybe Texas. It might well kill people in such highly Christian towns as Biloxi, Pensacola, Mobile etc.

The people in New Orleans who are most likely to be killed in this hurricane are the poor, the sick, the elderly, children and other people who do not have the means or the ability to leave the city.

So, if this is some divine punishment meted out for the sinful behavior on Bourbon Street, it's kind of going to kill and ruin a lot of people who have absolutely nothing to do with those goings-on.

It's also a city of good Catholics and Christians, families, and children that don't deserve that attitude. I'm in the middle of the Bible Belt, with a Southern Baptist church on every corner, yet we still have strip joints, bars and partying. I don't see God's wrath turning towards Tennessee.

I think this is the same clown who thought last year's Florida hurricanes were God throwing meteorological bowling balls at Judge Greer.

Lots of poverty in New Orleans, this is true.

Lots of drugs, substance abuse, violence, theft, prostitution, and general misery there.

But the people who are going to lose most might not be the poor left in New Orleans. It's going to be the people who evacuated and come home to find their homes ruined and their businesses destroyed. I have two nieces who may very well be in that boat, with their husbands and their livelihood about to be destroyed.

And for all who are going to be impacted, I pray.

Excellant response.

For those who seem to know How and Why and Who God decides to strike down, could you tell me what lottery number I should play tomorrow. I really don't want your "interpretations" on San Francisco, Las Vegas, etc.
I sure don't pretend to know how God decides or communicate to me, but it sure isn't through some guy on TV with Big Hair gyrating and screaming. ( yeah, ok, flame me for the truth)
