Quote of the Day
"If you take the six most powerful hurricanes ever recorded in North America, three of them occurred within 52 days in 2005."—Michael Tidwell, author of Bayou Farewell: The Rich Life and Tragic Death of Louisiana's Cajun Coast.
Speaking at the University of South Carolina's Katrina CRISIS National Summit, Tidwell said Katrina was the most predicted natural disaster ever. "The warning signs were so obvious," he said. "The paper trail warnings... went to the moon and back. The most predicted and completely foreseen natural disaster ever and still it happened.
"We're all going to be affected by sea level rise. We all are going to be clobbered by hurricanes and we all are doing nothing about it."
