Bill O'Reilly, not my favorite journalist, reports that Fox News has "established" that the state of Mississippi "had no emergency plan" for a category 5 storm.

Some perspective is in order, Hurricane Camille came ashore at Gulfport in 1969 as a category 5 with winds clocked at 200 miles per hour. It was far more severe than Katrina in that sense. Had the eye-wall hit N.O., the present situation would have come about 36 years ago.

An even worse storm, 200+ m.p.h, hit the Florida Keys in 1935.
