Hurricane Katrina? Really? Negal, Black mayor, Democratic Governor. I read where Nagel stayed in a hotel down town and had no idea how bad it was. Things are not a lot better. As hurricanes bore down on the area pumps to keep the old city from flooding were broken. It s amazing. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/it-wasnt-even-a-hurricane-but-heavy-rains-flooded-new-orleans-as-pumps-faltered/2017/08/09/b3b7506a-7d37-11e7-9d08-b79f191668ed_story.html So I am sure failing pumps and incompetence are racial.
