Gone with the water

This is an article from October 2004 in National Geographic. Reading it you will think it was a news article on what just happened less then two weeks ago.
Just incredible!

Lynda, that is creepily prophetic. It sounds exactly like what happened with Katrina!

It wasnt just the article either, did year hear that a couple of months ago they did a either hour or half hour show on the National Geograhpic channel on what would happen if a hurrican like Katrina would hit? They showed the water flooding the city like it did and everything.... talk about spooky.

This is not spooky. It's actually sad. Obviously, someone knew this was an awful possibility and still did nothing about it. Luckily, not as many predicted perished in this disaster but still, no one paid heed.

Well, you think that SOMEONE would have taken notice and reported it.
