[QUOTE="Kevin Palmer, post: 706256, member: 54263"] In my opinion, there is a rather large difference between the New Orleans flooding issue and this issue with the tornado. First, let me make it clear that they were and are both devastating. In the case of New Orleans, they had heads up notice. To some degree, they had a LARGE amount of notice as well as had many opportunities to leave the area. That said, I know not all could leave and not all would leave their homes. This was in some cases by choice and in some cases as they had no choice. Those that had a choice should have left the area as there was no misdirection of what was coming their way. By not leaving, the death count became a very high number. Yes, all they owned was destroyed. Where I live, you can not have a home your paying for if you do not carry insurance to cover the home in the event of loss. The situation there seems to be different. Either the owners were lying about having insurance to the financial suppliers to their loans or for some reason it was not needed. The tornado's were a total shock. In the latter case, I have more compassion for those individuals. [/QUOTE]
