That would be my fear. If I recall correctly, the National Hurricane Center's dire pre-storm announcement also mentioned potential casualties in the tens of thousands.
That was based on, IIRC, a hit on NOLA, with the city flooding instantly...and all the looterrs drowning...
They were warned. This was everyone's worst nightmare. People would not take heed to the warnings. This is what they have been screaming about for years. This was the reason for the warnings.
To top it off, I can't even go into a chat room at this time.....the Liberals are in there saying the Red States are getting what they deserved. This is terrible. Absolutely shameful. This nation is falling apart before our eyes and it will take us Conservatives to rebuild it.
Be Blessed!
