Concerning Katrina, I think that we had a "It will never happen to me." I am still amazed that the place in which I was born and spent so much of my life is receiving worldwide attention. New York, as horrible, as I thought it was did not quite hit home with me. Katrina happened in my "backyard."
As a U.S citizen, we watch things that happen in third world countries, and we think it will never happen here.
Louisiana has been trying to get the Federal Government to realize just how much of the wetlands we are losing every year in Louisiana. Maybe now we will get grants needed to help stop erosion.
