"It's also doubly cruel that this is happening right as spring/severe weather season is ramping up. Cutting an already understaffed agency that is supposed to help convey the dangers of natural disasters the public is going to get people killed. I hate that it's come to this, but maybe another Katrin"
"Maybe it's a true Katrina situation where the extend of destruction is so intense that nothing can be done to expeditie personnel and funds."
"But zoomers don't seem to know what Katrina is or think 9/11 is just meme culture. It's sad."
"If it is as bad as many scientists think, it will be the deadliest disaster in American history, possibly hundreds of times worse than hurricane Katrina."
"On the cost side of things, Hurricane Katrina used to be the most expensive disaster in US history at $125B ($207B adjusted for inflation). The cost of the recent fires is expected to top that in the $250B range but that is an estimate as much of the work is yet to be done."
