This is correct. At the time, the Posse Comitatus Act did not allow a President to send troops into a state (even in the event of a natural disaster) without permission from the Governor. (at least that's how I think it went)

Combine that with Blanco not being a good person to handle a major crisis with Nagin being a fricking retard (just a few months prior to Katrina an action plan had been proposed for a worst-case scenario that went very close along the lines of what would end up happening with Katrina and Nagin completely ignored it) and you have a good chunk of why the aftermath was handled so horribly.

There was a manmade aspect to the Katrina disaster and that was decades of ignoring the conditon of the levee's in new orleans, thousands of ppl deciding not to evacuate when a cat 5 storm was headed their way, and the fact that the GWB, Blanco, and Nagin were in charge of the aftermath (talk about a idiot's threesome). However the storm Katrina was simply a thunderstorm that traveld from Africa across the atlantic, it gained energy from the warm waters and strengthened into a hurricane, it slowed down due to natural forces and got even stronger from the warm GOM and made landfall.



Actually you're wrong about that... It formed off the coast of Florida... Over the Bahamas...

quote:

Katrina initially formed over the Bahamas on Aug. 23, 2005, as a tropical depression. A well-defined band of storm clouds began to wrap around the north side of the storm's circulation center in the early morning hours of Aug. 24. With winds of about 40 mph (65 kph), the storm is named Tropical Storm Katrina.

actually no. It formed from the remnants of TD10 which came off the coast of Africa.

quote:

Tropical Depression Ten was the tenth tropical cyclone of the record-breaking 2005 Atlantic hurricane season. It formed on August 13 from a tropical wave that emerged from the west coast of Africa on August 8. As a result of strong wind shear, the depression remained weak and did not strengthen beyond tropical depression status. The cyclone degenerated on August 14, although its remnants partially contributed to the formation of Tropical Depression Twelve, which eventually intensified into Hurricane Katrina. The cyclone had no effect on land, and did not directly result in any fatalities or damage.

So we are both correct

It also didn't hit as a Cat5. It was a Cat3 when it made landfall. Although you'd think it was a Cat10 when you read about it.

and OP, change your name to rehtard.

Not 100% accurate - federal troops cannot enforce the law, unless there is a declaration of martial law. As martial law was never declared in New Orleans (or anywhere in Louisiana following Katrina) and the 82nd Airborne did conduct operations in that environment suggests the opposite of your contention.

However, the broader point of federal/state cooperation was a huge factor in the clusterf*ck that was the weeks and months following the storm. Federalism suggests the state should handle it unless they can't. They couldn't, but wouldn't admit that. They (mainly Blanco and Landreneau) would not relase state troops to come under federal control, would not declare martial law, but wanted all the federal resources as if that were true.

SO, there was a hard and fast Title 10/Title 32 wall - Honore was the Title 10 commander, and Landreneu led the state effort, with other states' guard troops coming in under agreements between the states.

It didn't make sense then, and I was nose deep in all that $hit.

Politics is ugly and distasteful under the best of circumstances - in wartime conditions (or disasters like Katrina) it can be lethal (and was).

OP is to be congratulated on epic troll success

Worst case, if she is genuinely this retarded yet has reached adulthood and mastered the art of posting (with quotes!), that is also a breathtaking achievement in itself

Your past subtle trolls have effective in fooling many into thinking you are a genuine person instead of someone's troll alter.

But with this, you have overreached.

Not reading whole thread, read first post and felt that this needed to be made clear (and may have been already):

Tesla had to have been an alien or been taught by them. He just thought differently than anyone I've ever read about. He had some resonance hammer that could take buildings down by amplifying it's own amplitude. The Man took that one.
