TIGERHAWK: Iowa’s Katrina? “The flooding in eastern Iowa has reached the point of catastrophe.” But there’s a difference. “In Iowa there is a 500 year flood, but the people are not paralyzed, whining, or looting. There will be no massive relief effort from around the world, and nobody will step up to help Iowans except for other Iowans. Yet years from now, there will be no Iowans still in FEMA camps.”

More on the flooding here.

UPDATE: I’ll certainly be happy not to be reading stories like this from Iowa.
