On TWC, they showed a report from Beaumont a short while ago. A reporterette from ABC was showing some regular damage, and she said Rita was far less destructive than Katrina. Anyone who saw that, and hasn't seen what happened at places like Cameron, would have a completely false impression of this storm and its aftermath.
I've reached the point where I can't stand seeing any footage showing regular damage anymore, or footage of NOLA's levees, as if they told the whole story of what happened. They show a house with half a roof gone, or some fallen trees, or some puddles on the street -- while down at the coast, entire towns have been wiped clean from the map, and lots of real estate is still completely underwater.
well, i'm about to go through lake charles, beaumont, port author and i'll tell ya;ll what i see,,,,i know this,,,,i just went through the western part of MIssissippi up from jackson to LA and there was worse damage all in mississippi still than we've even see in LA, of course we didn't go down to New Orleans,,,but still, Mississippi got the shaft on that one,,,,,and I'm afraid texas will get the shaft on this,,,i swear they could have an earthquake in CA and somehow it would affect New Orleans,,,,,
