I so agree
Quote From: gritladyI have heard Katrina nd New Orleans until I am sick of it. Katrina didn't have a vendetta against New Orleans. Katrina was a massive weather system that destroyed hundreds of miles.
Regarding New Orleans - This city knew well in advance that they were facing major devastation if a hurricane of any large magnitude hit and they chose to bury their heads in the sand about maintaining their levees and such.
I don't want to downplay the devastation or the suffering in that city. It is horrible what happened there. But what I am so fed up with - everyone acts like ONLY NEW ORLEANS was hit.
It is not the only place of devastation. What about the towns in Mississippi that took the direct hit? What about the air base. What about the other areas that were destroyed? And what about Punta Gorda and Port Charolette, Florida that took direct hits but no one flocked there to do shows. Thousands are still affected by those storms 2 years ago but you don't see special shows there. I had family there and they are sick of hearing about New Orleans while they are trying to put their lives back together too.
But in all honesty - If we are going to cover Katrina - take those cameras out of New Orleans and look at the rest of the areas hit last year by Katrina.
Lets lift our eyes beyond the obvious and shed some light in the shadows to find the truley forgotten victims of Katrina. I agree with you 100% this is not right that all you ever hear about is New Orleans I grew up in Biloxi/Ocean Springs Mississippi area and they were hit VERY VERY BAD and no one is talking them up they have not winned and cried they have rebuilt and still rebuilding they want to put the town back to gether and NO ONE is writing stories about them. I ABSOLUTLY think it is B.S.!!!!!!!! Dr. Phil or staff if you read this open your eyes go do a story on the other people that was hit a lot harder than New Orleans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
