Just a note: most of the actual damage from Katrina that caused the most misery was the result of sub-standard work by contractors, and a failure to work over time, to upgrade, and correct the levee faults, leading to failures, NOT the actual Hurricane. That FEMA under “that guy” was so much slower to prepare and respond. That that “W” took SEABEES out of the work they were doing in Mississippi to clean up and make repairs, and sent them to sit on the butts in Qatar, didn’t help either.
