CaMoFLaGeD : New Orleans was affected badly as well? You are making this statement so lightly as if it was Houston/Dallas suffered the most because of hurricane last year! It was, in fact, New Orleans that was hit worst because of hurricane Katrina. Traffic jam between Housto/Dallas was nothing compared to over 200,000 homes destroyed in New Orleans alone! Over 1000 people dead! New Orleans is still reeling due the hurricanes last year and it will take over 20 years to get New Orleans back to Pre-Katrina situation.
