What is sad is that months later parts of the Gulf Coast and LA still are not "fixed"...I know Gulf shores is basically rebuilding again on its own...where are the billions going for hurricane rebuilding?? Its not Alabama....we prepared and still got hit hard but not waiting for a free bail out either...these people are doing it on their own and the community is pulled together...not apart like NO's. I don't care if the warning was in place 2 weeks before it hit...Katrina did major erosion to Orange Beach and Gulf Shores again and its just sad..guess if your not from these parts though it doesn't matter right...all I have read and seen concentrates mainly on LA...and the levees were not maintained like they were supposed to be...where did the money for levee maint. go to all these years?? Thats what should be exposed.
