Quote From: sailor_girl420...I am sick of only hearing about New Orleans also. While I do feel for those that loss their homes there, what did they expect living in a place that was below sea level? It's the same with people that live next to a river, or on a hill in a place known for landslides, etc. And New Orleans is only getting all the publicity because it's well known for Madi Gras and the French Quarter. I would really like to hear about what's going on with the other places hit by Katrina and Rita. New Orleans is old news.
I live in Port Arthur Texas, the heart of Hurricane Rita. There are still folks with businesses, homes, etc... that are gone, in need of repair etc....I get SOOOOOO aggrivated when people weem to forget RITA DID HIT!!!! New Orleans isnot the only city in this region. We evacuated ----few people stayed behind. Our officials were wonderful. while trying to find out (while evacuated) what was going on---KATRINA comparison and updates for N>O> dominated. Also Geraldo made a real good example of a lack of info---a report he did announcing PT ARTHUR was 7 feet under water-----living there WE KNEW--did anyone else notice that 15 ft train overpass he was next to---water flooded THAT --came high yes in some place--we were not surrounded by 7 feet of water!!!!
I feel for any one who is dealing with the aftermath--SE TEXAS had ALOT OF DAMAGE
