A prophecy fulfilled

From the Houston Chronicle in 2001:
"The New Orleans hurricane scenario may be the deadliest of all. In the face of an approaching storm, scientists say, the city's less-than-adequate evacuation routes would strand 250,000 people or more, and probably kill one of 10 left behind as the city drowned under 20 feet (6m) of water. Thousands of refugees could land in Houston. Economically, the toll would be shattering ... If an Allison-type storm were to strike New Orleans, or a category three storm or greater with at least 111 mp/h (178km/h) winds, the results would be cataclysmic, New Orleans planners said."

Of course Katrina hit as a category four. And the whole world knows who's been at the helm for almost five years -- five years of tax cutting, infrastructure neglecting, program defunding, illegal war spending and colonial occupying.

Impeachment is long overdue.
