There's some truth to what you post, and some truth to the fact that the
presentation of the post was not kind. But it's also true that most of
the coverage that I saw involved black people. Who's racism is that, if
any?

Of course, where I live, we don't have weather (California). That's
good and that's bad. I happen to like it. I went camping last week,
and slept in my preferred bed clothing (nothing). It was in the mid
forties in the morning, but quickly warmed up.

Although we don't have weather here, we do have the occasional
earthquake. One thing about the OP that struck a chord was that
according to media reports, Katrina only hit NO, no where else. We had
the great San Francisco earthquake of '89 here. Except that it hit
almost 100 miles SOUTH of SF. The media people didn't want to go down
there, because of some sort of problems down there, like maybe an
earthquake or something. Accommodations and food were much better in
SF, and there weren't all those wrecked buildings and impassible roads
and such. Still, the media people suffered severe shortages and
hardships. White stretch limos had to be brought in from as far away as
Salt Lake City!
