Hurricane Katrina

Ninety Third Post: Hurricane Katrina

It is sad to see the destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina on the news. There is so much that will have to be done as President G.W. Bush said:“This recovery will take a long time. This recovery will take years."

This is a tragic event and we can only help by sending our prayers and donating to our favorite charity.

But think about the water in New Orleans. They are below sea level there. And one expert says that the levies will have to be repaired and the water pump out before any restoration can happen. I expect to see some massive engineering endeavor here. Here we are all going to see what America can do when she pulls together. That is in both engineering and in aid.
