New Orleans got the lion's share of the coverage because it is a major city and because of the scope of the damage, but from the media coverage I have seen, the other areas have also been covered. I have seen the coverage and I don't live in the US. |

Now are you sure it isn't that there was no *media* attention in nearby parishes and theremay have actually been as much real attention? In any case, the adjacent parishes aren't below sea level and therefor not flooded to the extent of NO. ************* DAVE HATUNEN ) ************* * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * * My typos & mispellings are intentional copyright traps * |
