Perhaps being from Canada makes it a little less "real" or substantial for you (both events) and allows you to compare them at a more fundamental level, but that simply isn't the case.

id have to say this is way bigger than 9/11. IN perspective of lives lost and damage done. and just because I am from Canada doesnt mean this is any less real for me than for you living in Texas. Also for the remark for the flooding not being the result of the hurricane....it was the tidal surge that erroded the earthen levees that cause the sea walls on top of the levees to fall, Id say that is pretty direct. I just hope that some lessons will be learned from the mismanagement of this catastrophe by all levels of government.
