2. I don't think you can compare these to Katrina
These are more along the lines of the Asian Tsunami or worse. Even if our response to Katrina had been spot on, my answer would still be no.

3. The US can survive the wave.
Edited on Sun Sep-11-05 04:49 AM by SofaKingLiberal
There will be an enormous death toll, trillions in damage and the economy would be screwed. But if we have competent leaders who care about the people and democracy, America would eventually overcome.
If there is a leader like Bush we will turn into a true fascist regime.

If Yellowstone goes were fcked.

4. What I like about that ginormous wave picture
If you look closely at the middle section of that humongous wave, I think you can see a teensy little surfer dude riding it into town.



Of course the death toll would be horrendous. On the upside, I believe Pat Robertson lives fairly close to the Virginia coastline.
