I was in Florida for Ivan and had to evacuate.

No way was it close to the damage that Katrina caused, but when we went back home, it was both amazing and terribly sad to see the power of nature, and the loss of human property and life.

I think it would be educational for people to see photos and footage of the wreckage, but I myself wouldn't want to have gawkers bussed through my neighborhood day in and day out to gaze at my misfortune.

And 10% isn't really all that much, I agree that it seems kind of like a cheap payoff.

Perhaps all that interest would be better diverted into the rebuilding New Orleans rather than the remains of New Orleans.
