Andrew was destructive as hell. I drove through it less than two weeks after it occurred and then again a few months later. The progress was undeniable. There was clearly a coordinated and definite response from state and federal employees. Clearly resources were made available to those stricken in southern Florida. Katrina occurred IN a major city. (I still think the government took a 9/11 approach and either let the levees break or caused them to.) What I see on TV and what I read is total chaos in southern Louisianna. There must be a reason for this. No matter what, bush administration is to blame. Someone needs to do a comparative study of Andrew and Katrina. Andrew was destructive as hell.
