I 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.
