Wrong. Katrina was ALL about n'awlins. If it wouldn't have been for chocolate city it would have been just as quiet as Rita.

I know what you're talking about. Know one knows the real damage Katrina done. The news only cover NO. Mississippi was hit way harder than NO but that wasnt as dramatic as chocolate city. Same as Rita. People who werent a part of it don't realize how bad it was because it wasn't covered. I'm not trying to downplay Katrina. But Rita was just as bad.

I agree that Rita's destruction of the coastline was just as bad. Hell, they are all the same at landfall. My arguement is that Rita did not sustain the power that Katrina did once it made landfall. We are 150 miles from where Katrina made landfall. Our winds were borderline Cat 2 for most of the day...sustained. Hattiesburg, MS has gotta be 200 miles from landfall and they were hit with Cat 1 winds. I've looked at many maps and it doesn't look like Rita sustained Cat 1 force winds for over 70-80 miles from impact. That is my arguement.

We stayed in opeleusas for Rita. 60 miles east and 60 miles north of where Rita hit. Hat hurricane force winds for 2 days. Even had trees down there and lost power for 2-3 days.

We got one, but unfortunately, like the others he's wrong most of the time.
