[QUOTE="Jones, post: 358752, member: 4805"] The death toll from Katrina was over 1500, 700 bodies were found floating in the streets of New Orleans alone. Last I heard the toll in Iowa was up to 5, possible 6 in Michigan. Total damage in from Katrina is estimated at 81 billion. So far damage estimates for the Iowa flooding are at less than 3 billion, and the vast majority of that is crop damage. I'm not mitigating what happened in Iowa at all, I certainly wouldn't wish it on anyone, but there's really no comparison between these two disasters. Katrina was far, far worse. It's certainly encouraging to see that some pathetic email spammer apparently just couldn't wait to turn someone else's misfortune into an opportunity to slander Hollywood celebrities, poor black people, and the "liberal" media. nice. Thanks for sharing that. [/QUOTE]
