Re: Anyone notice the Eerie silence of the International Community to Hurricane Katrina?
Well Chile, I'll try to help. Economics played a major role in the Levees which in hindsight was wrong. The U.S. has only been hit 3 times by a Category 5 Hurricane, and category 4 Hurricanes aren't that common either. Mainly category 3, which the levees were built for. Guess they should have built them to withstand category 5 but they didn't.

Yes, the Governor ordered an evacuation of the whole city but New Orleans has a big problem which is similar to other big cities in the U.S. but in New Orleans more so, the poor probably couldn't get out. For one reason or another, they just couldn't or wouldn't for that matter.
