Шо, Сандальчик, в очередной раз в луже ? Вот почему республиканство и недалекость ходят рука об руку ? Генетическая корреляция, что ли - если реп, то уж и туп ?

А хорошее сравнение Айовы с Катриной есть от туточки :

This forward offends me so much I can hardly breathe. And is does not, btw, contain “factual information.” It contains mostly falsehoods, misleading statements, overblown rhetoric, & offensive stereotyping. And a lot of stupid questions.

First of all, I would say the “big differences” would be some of the following…

Iowa Floods: Flooding occurred from June 7- July 1. Many people had quite a long time to prepare/evacuate.
Katrina.: A major urban city had approximately 36 hours to evacuate. 90% of said city did manage to evacuate (the fastest & largest evacuation our country had ever witnessed). Flooding caused by faulty engineering of the federal government occurred over a span of hours, not weeks. ( http://www.levees.org/faq )

Iowa Floods: 40,000 Iowans displaced.
Katrina: over 1,200,000 displaced

Iowa Floods: Damages of 6+ Billion Dollars (this number is for the ENTIRE midwest, btw, so Iowa alone is significantly less)

Katrina: Damages of 81.2 Billion Dollars (in 2005 dollars)

The only “big difference” that really matters?
Iowa: 1 death (13 deaths in entire Midwest)
Katrina: 1,836 confirmed deaths, 705 missing

That makes for a “difference” of between 1823-2528 human lives. PEOPLE. Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, sons, & daughters. I’d say that IS “one hell of a big difference.” A hell of a big Bleeping difference
