Why does new orelans get all the sympathy?

Question

Why is that new orelans is the only city considered with the incoming hurricane Gustav. While I understand this being a little past the anniversery of katrina may seem like history repeating itslef but many other cities are being thretand by the storm why is the media not concered about them?

Answer 1

They are concerned because they are not 100% recovered from Katrina. They are still rebuilding. The levee's are not complete. The city is underneath sea level so storm surge can really ruin the city.  

Answer 2

Work on your spelling and read something and maybe you can get some respectful answers.

Answer 3

new orleans was favored in katrina too. there were soooo many other cities that were hit even harder. it's a big city with lots of history. and, it's touristy and well known.  

Answer 4

It's not fair for all the focus to be on New Orleans and in my answers I have pointed out the fact people will get hurt & lose their homes no matter where Gustav goes.  That is especailly true now that it appears Gustav will make landfall to the west of New Orleans.

The media focuses on New Orleans now and before (ex. during Katrina) because the city is known worldwide while even most Americans have no idea where cities like Houma or Biloxi and Bay Saint Louis are located.

Good luck to us all!

Answer 5

idk either but proly before it was the state hit hardest by the prevoius hurricanes

Answer 6

they are little city's with little interest to the public..the media is concerned about the big city's because its big news

Answer 7

"Texas people hate Louisiana people. Bush being a Texan and being the hate monger he is had a chance to vent his hatred for Louisiana. Now he has to act like he's a good guy. Publicity works both ways."

What?

Do you listen or think before you write.  If you are a Democrat shut up, you are making the rest of us look stupid.  The response for Katrina should have been better but no one has control over any kind of weather phenomenon, and President Bush is on his way out in four months little he can do to help or hurt in all reality.

Answer 8

They have been through a lot have sympathy.

Answer 9

Because it is a disaster waiting to happen.  Who in their right mind would even consider living 10 feet below sea level?  As for that what government in its right mind would waste money building dikes to protect a city below sea level?

Answer 10

i had the same question. why did new orleans get all the news coverage when other nearby citys also go hit?

Answer 11

OH god this is an insult.....

but anyway to answer your question its because Mississippi and texas are different they will have some flooding but nothing like new orleans since we are in a "bowl" and because are levees can break at any moment  i understand why you think that they are focusing so much on new orleans but i think it should be covered anyway we are the direct path of the storm

Answer 12

Texas people hate Louisiana people. Bush being a Texan and being the hate monger he is had a chance to vent his hatred for Louisiana. Now he has to act like he's a good guy. Publicity works both ways.

Answer 13

their focusing on it so much.because all of the killing and rape and dead bodys just floating around.instead of being mean.you should pray for them .sometimes we all think it would never happen to me then something does.so be nice.
