Idiot Son and Company received an early warning about the anticipated impact of Hurricane Katrina.

In the 48 hours before the massive hurricane made landfall, the White House was the recipient of detailed warnings about the storm's anticipated impact, including predictions on breeched levees, massive flooding, damage to property, and most importantly: loss of life.

The Department of Homeland Security's National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center (NISAC) emailed a 41-page assessment of Katrina's potential impact, to the White House Situation Room at 1:47 AM on August 29.

The NISAC assessment concluded that a storm of Katrina's size would likely lead to severe flooding and/or levee breaching" and took care to mention the possibility of breeched levees along Lake Pontchartrain.

Moreover, FEMA had produced a slide presentation referenced a fictitional hurricane, "Pam" (a Category 3 storm).  But the report warned that Hurricane Katrina could be much worse than the fictitional Category 3 Hurricane Pam.

Of course, BushCo has refused to comment on the early warnings they received via these reports, because they serve as proof that we have a 'President' who doesn't like to read. He had to be shown a DVD of nightly newscasts to prove to him what was happening on the ground in New Orleans, in the aftermath of Katrina.
