Is it fair to call it Floridas Katrina?
No, nothing will ever be that bad here. Katrina wasn't just a bad storm is was a civic failure dating back to he cities inception.
This is however a storm that will rival Andrew maybe. [Reply]

A direct hit on Tampa or a direct hit on Miami, for instance, could be even worse than what is happening now.
But hopefully, we won't see another Katrina.
Although I fear it may be only a matter of time. [Reply]

If this one had come ashore where it was predicted to 24 hours earlier, you would have had 15 feet of water go into a metro area of 4 million people. [Reply]

I am honestly asking, as I have no experience with any type of disaster like this. Why don't these people evacuate? Or more so, what's the reason for staying and "waiting" it out when it's predicted to be so bad? [Reply]
