[Outraged At FLA]

You show me where anyone said New Orleans had dodged a bullet. Show me. You are so full of it.

Insurance companies don’t seem to be worried:

Keep hyping it up, but you are only helping Obama.

Actually, everyone WAS initially saying that New Orleans had dodged the bullet. They thought Katrina was going to make a direct hit as a category 3, and they weren’t sure the levees would hold. But then, Katrina made a swing to the east of New Orleans, putting it on the less powerful side of the hurricane.

And then, after the hurricane passed, the levee broke and flooded the 9th Ward.

First of all, there were many people who initially thought NOLA had dodged a bullet. The fact that you don't know that shows just how poorly you follow the news. Second, insurance companies don't cover flood damage. A federal program does. So insurance companies are not facing a lot of liability here - from your own article, of the $15 billion in damage from Irene, insurance companies paid $5 billion.

But seriously, only a complete clueless idiot would belittle the Jersey Shore getting flooded and the widespread impact on the lives of those who live and work there that such represents.

And third, just how is being realistic about what happened helping Obama? If anything, a jerk like you posting on a conservative website makes us look bad.
