It wasn't until Hurricane Katrina, though, that Gollott's tenuous hold on solvency turned into a financial freefall that forced him to liquidate in bankruptcy court.

The burdens of the storm could eventually send many others down the same path, but a change in U.S. bankruptcy laws could make recovery even harder for those who follow, experts say.

lied to the victims before the storm, telling them they did not need insurance. And not a peep from BUSH. But what else is new?

And these Dems think they should be president. :eyes:
