Answer 1

We keep hearing about it because the Gov. really messed up on that one. there is still people without homes and New Orleans is not been built back up. mainly because the funds that the gov. gave to the victums never got to the victums, the money has disappered and it seems that no one knows where it went. last I heard the victums that were givin trailors had to be evicted from the trailors because the  trailors had asbestos insulation in them.  those poor people have been sent to and fro just trying to keep their families together. blame FEMA  for all that. since than things have changed big time.  

Answer 2

Katrina killed nearly 2,000 people making it the deadliest hurricane for 90 years, left almost the entire city of New Orleans in ruins, and cost $81,000,000,000.

Those other hurricanes you mentioned were nowhere near on the scale of Katrina.

Felix did affect "poor" countries but killed "only" 130 compared to Katrina which was one of the worst disasters in our nation's history. Its important not to forget.

Answer 3

We still talk about Katrina, because it is not over yet. The rebuilding effort is going slower than it should, and there are many homeless people still. Besides the fact that so many people died during and after the hurricane.

Katrina needs to be talked about , so that next tine something like this happens we can be better prepared.

Answer 4

Is it just me, or do you feel that the media isn't mentioning international news much. And we don't even know the "real" purpose of the iraqi war. there are a lot of things that are happening that we don't know about.

It's become an american patriot's tradition to remember the tragedies. Pearl harbor, 9/11, katrina.

Answer 5

Katrina is just something for people to whine about. People who still think government is the answer to problems.
