One year after Hurricane Katrina - a quick look at National Disasters areas.

Yes we all will remember Hurricane Katrina this week.  Still devastated, the Gulf Coast will be rebuilding (for years) not only the buildings and memories but the broken hearts of a place that they called home.  Will another oce come soon?  Who knows? Do people think that all beach property is now unsafe?  What has changed?  All these questions?????

In my studies during the past year, I have found that many other areas of the country have been hit hard and many more times by various national disasters.  Just last winter, the Upstate of South Carolina was hit extremely hard with an Ice Storm that left may citizens without power for well over a week.  We were declared a national disaster for once in a VERY long time in history.  Other parts of the country have hit with other various disasters as well.  I found a handy FEMA Map that shows individual counties across the nation.  It can be studied below.  Turns out that the Upstate of South Carolina, (Greater Greenville area) has some of the lowest disasters that other areas in the country.  I really feel bad about the people of North Dakota.  Let me know your comments!
