A tropical storm? However, with heavy rains, flooding is a factor since the oceans have risen, what? 0.00001% if that. Still low-lying areas are prone to flooding from torrential rain fall. I'd rather the Governor take early actions than waiting around like Blanco and Mayor Nagin did with Katrina.

The libs and crybabies still blame Bush. The facts show that Bush formally (in writing) asked Governor Blanco to formally request fedgov FEMA assistance 2 days in advance, which is law. She didn't; Nagin sat on his ass; and the suburbs were devastated beyond repair. Can't wait to see the cable special of Katrina 20 year anniversary. I wonder which way it will slant?

Keep in mind that the Mississippi coast got hit just as hard, but Governor Barbour? did a lot of good things to prepare and then rebuild.

Oops, 10 year anniversary.

Imagine how many fewer people would have died had Bobby Jindal been governor then. He'd have gotten those buses moving, and seen that the elderly in nursing homes were rescued. He might even have managed to stop the government theft of federal funds provided years earlier to reinforce/replace the levies.
