My family stayed thru the storm and 3 days after. Our experiences: No outside without a fire-arm. My son seeing a car and a man wrapped around the top of tall tree in the path of a levee break. Old people hanging sheets out the windows of high-rises so they can be found easier. And for some reason, it was hot, and I mean HOT, even for Louisiana. When buildings started burning down, we left.

Reading between the lines I think you sir, are a racist lol. BTW I thought the crime capital of the US was Orlando?

as someone from new orleans this is hear breaking, katrina did not effect my family nearly as much as it did those who stayed behind and i am very fortunate that my family was all safe.

Just sad at how many people were left to rot before being found.

ehh, if you've seen one floater you've seen them all...what was really sad was watching our crime rate sky rocket in Houston after all the "refugees" starting coming from New Orleans. Many of the scum are still here in Houston today, since there was nothing to go home to for a lot of them. Not saying everyone who came to Houston from New Orleans during Katrina was scum, just 99% of them.

Where the hell did you get that??? Not even close. We have our problems, but crime capital? Can you show me a link?

The oil companies have wanted to drill under New Orleans for years. Everyone expressed surprise that the Bush administration had no plans to rebuild New Orleans, but that was the plan, to not rebuild. If it wasn't for the political flack that Bush got when he said it made no sense to rebuild on that area, New Orleans would be an oil field now.
