Anywho, the point BSAMS was originally making was the fact that people are doing ok because they are doing for themselves instead of waiting for someone to do for them. You can compare that with Katrina. I was in Katrina; so I am, by far, not downplaying how massive and destructive that thing was. Where you are comparing the death toll, we're talking about what people are doing to survive. Don't forget that the 1800 number you're throwing out isn't just the people lost during the initial landfall of the storm. Many died after the fact. Actually, the New Orleans number is due to flooding after the hurricane had past since it only grazed the city.
Again the scope of Katrina was worse. Bsams went to a shelter and had a home to return to. Many more people went to shelters during Katrina with no home to go back to. They did everything bsams did but he's better than them how?
