Reply #2: I have never been to NOLA [View All]

I may never get a chance to go.
However I was in Fort Lauderdale for Hurricane Andrew, I went to our offices which were near Krome Avenue in SW Miami-Dade, which means I had to drive down I95 , then US1 , then various side streets off of US 1 to go around where the channel 6 (I think it was)tv stations transmission tower was across all the lanes 4 to a side.
The houses and cars and possessions all over the place, people wandering around. When I got to where I worked one of the buildings was a 1920s house which was still whole, but ompletely off its foundations and washed out into a field about 150 feet away, all of the other buildings were flattened. Seeing the rows and rows of houses down and damaged business was shocking and still stays with me.

The aftermath Andrew was cleaned up in fairly short order, there was help arriving shortly, there were folks who had problems with their insurance.
Andrew looks from here like a well run disaster.
NOLA and Katrina What A Fucking Mess.
I had relatives there a spouse died in the aftermath when Blackwater arrived, who was actually there to help get the infrastructure back in order. I have not found out what exactly Black water had to do with it, but the relative has gone into hiding, disconnect phones and moved to some place quiet I suppose since no one has heard from her since just after the funeral, another relative did tell me that she was acting very scared and very strange.

Even if my relatives death did'nt have anything to do with BlackWater WTF where they there for, we all know they are lead by that wonderful kkkreestian Eric Prince.

NOLA and her citizens have been let down. I know how it is to be too poor to own a car or escape from a storm. We were just lucky during Andrew.
