About storms and compassion

In the current article on MSN about the Hurricane Katrina Ivor van Heerden, deputy director of the Louisiana State University Hurricane Center, said: "We’re talking about in essence having — in the continental United States — having a refugee camp of a million people".  Whatever you believe in, this is a good time to pray for the people affected. While there won't be the number of casualties as during the Tsunami in Asia, all who suffer deserve our compassion --- and a blood donation as Rocky suggest.
I wonder how long it will take until someone claims that New Orleans was the resurrected Sodom and that its destruction was higher will.
