I love how the good folks at the DOD put this information into Bar Chart form for the Democrats and those from Rio Linda.

Any REAL casualty estimates? All I've heard is that some model predicts 10,000.

I am skeptical.

Wasn't Andrew a Cat 5 at landfall and Katrina was a Cat 4? The Bush administration had more help for a lesser storm?

Good work by all involved.

I agree.

Especially considering that they had to sidestep the messes created by Nagin and Blanco, who were each worse than useless.

The Feds made two mistakes regarding this storm, and these two mistakes cost a lot of lives.

1. They didn't deport Blanco last year.
2. They didn't deport Nagin last year.
