I'll speak s-l-o-w-l-y so you can understand. The people in New Orleans, are you ready for this? The people in New Orleans live under sea level in a big cereal bowl! The only thing that kept the ocean from their front doors was man-made levees. They were told repeatedly, LEAVE! You will be flooded. But they didn't. And their local government, morons that they were, didn't get them out of harms' way. And thousands upon thousands suffered.
NOW, Nashville's folks live in an area that characteristicallly doesn't have major flooding. As a matter of fact, many were affected in areas that never have flooded. And by the unpredictable nature of this storm, no one was able to predict what ended up happening. But you know what? It did, we have a catastrophy here and we will pull together and help those who need our help. Why not take some of the energy you use criticising and focus on the tragedy at large, I'll bet you would be surprised what you might accomplish.....
