I never read past the OP saying:
"Katrina was a CAT-3 and not that powerful."

"The Saffir-Simpson intensity scale ranks a hurricane in one of five
categories based upon its maximum sustained wind speed. Although
Category 1 and 2 hurricanes make landfall regularly in the United
States, higher intensity hurricanes (Categories 3 through 5) make
landfall less frequently than Category 1 or 2 hurricanes.

Only three hurricanes have made landfall as Category 5 intensity
(Labor Day Hurricane of 1935; Camille in 1969; Andrew in 1992). As
intense as Rita and Katrina were in 2005, they thankfully weakened
well below Category 5 prior to landfall."

ALL Liberals will swear to you Katrina was a CAT-5 to make it seem
really powerful. If you mean Andrew as being more powerful they will
laugh at the low death toll and also remind you "those were all white
people too"

Katrina is 80% Political Correctness and 5% Hype 2% Idiots not
evacuating and 3% Science.

10% is just magic like david copperfield...


Like when I see and hear people in the media and on "tv shows" say
that Katrina was the "worst natural disaster in American history"


I must ask, if it was "natural" then what in the hell does CO2
produced by human activity have to do with it?
