Huge devastation was the result of hurricaine Katrina years ago. Now another hurricaine is hitting the exact same area. I have no pity for the people that chose to stay in such a dangerous area. How many hurricaines will it take before you live somewhere else?
Some peoples homes there are once again full of water. All im saying is I dont need to be seeing this ' oh these poooor people are stuck in a hurricaine look at thier homes all full of water' it's thier own fault they chose to stay for whatever reason. Hurricaines devastate the area it doesnt take a genius to realize its not a good safe place to live. Hmmm family history or family safety for future generations..........move...quit whining on the news and move.
How many hurricaines will it take before you realize that place should be abandoned? Anyway, have fun living in the flood, guess they all like it.

Wheres Obama and FEMA?
Glad they have a Governor to take swift action and get those people out of there. Don’t want to interrupt Obamas campaign stops.
This ticks me off to no end. Its reported all over the news that its a CAT1 storm. It may have low winds but its a super slow moving storm. Dumping TONS of water in an area that is under a severe drought. Severe drought plus lots of water equel flash floods.edit on 30-8-2012 by camaro68ss because: (no reason given)
During an 11:30 a.m. CT news conference, Jindal said if the McComb, MS, dam breaches, it could affect an area with an estimated population of 40,000 to 60,000 residents. Residents along the Tangipahoa River in Mississippi and Louisiana were ordered at 10:10 a.m. to evacuate within 90 minutes after initial warnings the dam's failure was imminent.

I wonder when either they will learn to stop rebuilding where it is prone to disaster or when we'll learn to stop funding their stupidity?

This is really an ignorant post and one I see quite often. Have you ever stopped to consider that moving costs money? That jobs are scarce that pay much? Those people that "chose" to stay may have children? That people all over the country, and specifically in some of those areas, are already having daily/weekly/monthly financial issues?[...]

Getting up and moving, no matter how bad you want to, is not easy. Not everyone has a great education and/or high paying jobs. If you have a family it is even harder. I'm sure a LOT of those people have wanted and continue to want to move but just can't.
Stop acting like all those people shouldn't have people showing compassion. Besides what I said above, they are humans. Smart, dumb, rich and poor. They are humans and no one should act like they deserve to have such a horrible situation bestow them because they didn't just pack up and leave.

It is stupid to keep living there. Compasion or not the people living in these areas need to move.
