Not saying that New Orleans wasn't a horrible situation, but don't forget those people had warning and could have gotten out.

Here is a video (that might have been posted here) of the floods in Tennesee last year. Where was the coverage/relief efforts and benefit concerts for these poor people?

I always find this line funny. Where are dirt poor families with no money and no transportation supposed to go?

Joey, I was always under the impression that the government provided transportation for people to get out.

Katrina is a little different than a tornado. Just a little. Lets see how FEMA reacts to the next earthquake and/or massive hurricane.

I fully understand that, but my point is about the way the media covers things and the perception that the public gets from the coverage. Just like the video I posted.
