The myths surrounding Hurricane Katrina

We don’t know yet what Hurricane Gustav will ultimately do.

This seems like a good time to revisit what really happened during Hurricane Katrina. So, if you really don’t remember, or if, as Harry Shearer says, you still “cling to misinformation about the 2005 disaster” (like the Bitter you are), this video might be helpful in giving up a few of the ghosts. Myth #1 is that Hurricane Katrina was a natural disaster. No it wasn’t — it was an engineering disaster. Watch the whole video.
