Hurricanes

The hurricanes are at it again in the Gulf Coast, but I couldn't help to think: was the coverage overkill of Gustav? It landed as a catergory two hurricane, nothing compared to catergory five Katrina. I believe all the press was to boast of all the precautions and logististical skill FEMA gained in the past three years. There have been less than ten reported deaths due to Gustav and thankfully those boastful remarks were true about how well everything worked this time. Governor Bobby Jindal did well in easing the fears of Louisianians and calming all down about the minor damage sustained during hurricanes. He deserves the credit for how smoothly and calmly the evacuations went this time.
