Our national news media is absolutely pathetic.

They all keep calling it Hurricane Isaac, even though it is just a tropical storm.

I fend no evidence that it was a hurricane for more than a few hours and that was by just a few mph wind speed.

I find no reliable source that says it was a hurricane when it hit New Orleans.

Katrina was a Category 5 storm for a short time and a Category 3 when it impacted New Orleans.

There is no comparison in strength, but the media babble on and on, trying to generate news, not report it.
