It has been five years since Hurricane Katrina. The news media, including conservative Fox News, continue to refer to Katrina as the worst natural disaster in the history of the country. Apparently tese young people no nothing of history. About 1800 people perished in Hurricane Katrina. But the Galveston Hurricane of 1900 took over 8000 lives (and maybe as many as 12,000) and the 1928 Lake Okeechobee Hurricane took 2500 lives.
