That's simply not true at all. Fargo has a population of about 100,000 residents compared to the millions in the Gulf area, not to mention the economic issues that made it more difficult for tens of thousands to evacuate.

This isn't to say that local officials aren't to blame for the Katrina mess, they certainly are...but you're comparing apples and oranges.
