Katrina, on the other hand, destroyed the largest city in the state and a huge chunk of Louisiana's economy with it.

Really? Katrina didn't destroy NOLA. NOLA is still standing, while Cameron and Holly Beach are not. NOLA is the victim of a side effect of Katrina, not Katrina herself. If the levees had held, NOLA would be in as good a shape as Houston/Galveston. Before the flooding started, everyone was saying NOLA dodged a bullet, just as they're saying about Houston/Galveston. Seems you're falling into the media's trap, making NOLA the center of the universe. Katrina didn't destroy NOLA. She did, however, destroy the Mississippi coast. Remember that?

----Seems you're falling into the media's trap, making NOLA the center of the universe.----

Truth is harsh.... and the truth is that New Orleans was more important to La. than Holly Beach. And if the wreckage of one of America's major cities and the total displacement of its entire population aren't major news stories, I don't know what are.

----Katrina didn't destroy NOLA.----

Yes, it did. And your argument is akin to complaining about continuing media coverage of the destruction of New York City after a storm temporarily incapacitates Schenectady.
