Despite these flaws with the policy, New Orleans will begin seizing not just houses from devastated communities_but also the hopes of thousands residents of returning home_on the anniversary of our nation's greatest tragedy. City Ordinance 26031 is proof that the interests and human rights of the now-disenfranchised displaced victims of the storm are no longer respected in their former communities or by the federal government
storm had moved inland.[4] Eventually 80% of the city and large tracts of neighboring parishes became flooded, and the floodwaters lingered for weeks.[4] However, the worst property damage occurred in coastal areas, such as all Mississippi beachfront towns, which were flooded over 90% in hours, as boats and casino barges rammed buildings, pushing cars and houses inland, with waters reaching 6–12 miles (10–19 km) from the beach.
With now record-setting flood stages in Cairo, Ill., Maj. Gen. Michael Walsh has ordered barges carrying 250 tons of explosives to be ready to move from Wickliffe, Ky., to the levee at Birds Point.

Everyone seems to think that Katrina only hit New Orleans. It was the worest hurricane to hit since the Galveston hurricane in the early 1900's. With winds up to 175 mph. But the point I was trying to make is that the US government took possesion of all the land in 9th Ward New Orleans. Like right now I am looking at the AR, news radar. Still raining right over BeeBe and Greenbrier area. This is off the subject, and right now there is more to worry about with all this rain today.
The Seizing of Property after disasters.

The latest elected official to step into the swamp was Rep. Richard H. Baker, a 10-term Republican from Baton Rouge. The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that he was overheard telling lobbyists: "We finally cleaned up public housing in New Orleans. We couldn't do it, but God did."

After this, I'm not going to comment on the HAARP weather machine topic again. I find nothing credible in the theory. One of the biggest problems is that placing in Alaska means they are testing the weapon in their own backyard. If they were testing a weapon system they would place it on the East Coast and screw with Europe or Africa's weather.
Your quote by the ignorant, racist, Republican polictician, only proves that he believes God is an immoral bigot like himself.
The government knew the levees wouldn't survive a Category 3 storm. They wouldn't put the money into repairing the levees because most of the affected areas were poor neighbourhoods. Not much lobbying power there. Had the rich been living beside the levees, they would have been fixed. The rich live in the nieghbourhoods that are on higher ground outside the inner city.
"George Bush hates Black People."
Officials knew that any major storm hitting New Orleans was going to cause massive damage and loss.
There is nothing mysterious about Katrina.
Nothing.

Robin and Tecumte, Checkout this Flood Map, NOAA and National Weather Service
This scares the living hell out of me. We might as well go ahead and get prepared for the Big One.

My local news in Kansas City had a story on kids having earthquake drills. They ducked and covered just like in those old nuke cold war films . Then the reporter said we have a 20%-40% of having an earthquake. We are pretty far from New Madrid actually about 5 hours away.
