This flood is believed to be the the worst flooding since 1954. The flood has caused a direct economic loss of about 7.4 billion.

Flood is merciless. It slaughtered countless civilians. I WONDER whether Natural disaster is the punishment that nature imposed on human beings.

If you listen to the "Experts" they say that global warming will cause extremes in all weather patterns. For instances droughts will be the worst ever. Flooding will pass all previous levels, and even some cold countries will experience extremes of cold. So, if you are a believer in the global warming issue then you have an explanation for all the extreme events that are happening worldwide at the moment.

Katrina, it is the punishment that nature imposed on human beings. People have done a lot wrongdoings,cutting down trees randomly, polluting the environment etc so that we should be punished. You should reward for something, not always asking and taking.
