Reminiscing about Hurricane Katrina.

You know I was just sitting here, thinking about that crazy little time in our history called the post hurricane Katrina days. You still hear about it on the news, more than a year later. New Orleans is coming back from the dead, as it were, almost 80% of the city under water, thousands dead, mermaids killing the homeless but the city prevails, adapts and survives. What a horrible tragedy to happen on our shores but, at least we, the American public, have our beloved media to bring us such news. I would like to thank you american media corporations, from the bottom of my heart for getting down to New Orleans and showing me the destruction, letting me see the horror first hand, so I could then see the glory of the rebuilding process. Good, good people to a man, those stalwart gaurdians of our group conscience. They gave us, the american public, an acurate and indepth view of something we could have missed altogether. What a terrible time for our country. Still, I can't help but smile sometimes, like now when I think about it. The hurricane was tragic but it really could have been so much worse, really. Consider the fact that a catagory five hurricane, the most powerful level recorded by man. A hurricane with winds 150 miles per hour or greater and storm surges eighteen feet above the normal wave level and New Orleans being the only city in it's path to really get wolluped, that's amazing. A storm of such a magnitude could have easily destroyed more than just one city. You would expect that some of those other local shoreline cities would have been hit at least a little bit. What an amazing story though, think of the destruction if Katrina had hit Biloxi, gulfport or even Ocean springs. What kind of post appocolyptic world would the southern shores of our country be in today if the storm would have hit Baton Rouge or Shreveport? Not to even think about all the tiny coastal fishing towns and resort areas. I personally would have thought a storm like that could travel as far north as Jackson, Mississippi but what do I know I'm no meteorologist. I am just glad that the media was there to let me know about it, I have a few friends down south, they didn't live in New Orleans though, so you can imagine my relief when I found out that the Katrina had completely missed them. Wow, I am no religious man but someone had an eye out for those other towns, thanks to them and a special thanks to the american mass media, thank you for bringing me the whole story, I would hate to have to dig around on the internet for hours or go to another countries media to find the news.

Side note: I am sick of people in the media acting like New Orleans was the only city hit by Katrina. New Orleans was just the only city with a pro football team, so now people can say that damned retarded "team of destiny"' shlock. Knock it off!

Second side note: I just found out that the chief hurricane forcaster for Accu Weather is named Joe Bastardi, what a great name.
