Hurricanes Katrina & Rita Updates (CNN)

[Frank2]

To counter what some viewers had the gall to mention this week (as I heard, by their e-mails to a cable news channel) - that the media had "exaggerated the damage", we shouldn't forget what is still in progress:

note that the current death toll from Hurricane Katrina stands at 1,130, or the third deadliest storm in U.S. history. To update the CNN list, the 1928 hurricane death toll has been revised upwards to at least 2,500 persons, and perhaps as many as 3,000 (Palm Beach Post, 9/05).

P.S. As we used to say after Hurricane Andrew - we could always tell who wasn't a resident of south Dade County - they were those that "questioned the damage" and did so only because they lived outside the area, and were not suffering as those who were affected...
