We’re heard everyone from Ned Lamont to Adam Putnam compare it to Katrina. Here’s an excerpt from the Putnam.

“We get a lot of hurricanes, and in 2004 we had three hurricanes come across Central Florida, my home, in nine weeks, bam, bam, bam. Then a year later we watched a storm come across Florida and build in the Gulf, and it got bigger and bigger and moved faster and faster and had a bull’s eye on New Orleans, and I, like a lot of Americans, wondered why more people weren’t leaving, why more people weren’t heeding the warnings that were so obvious from the weather map of what was building into a monster in the Gulf of Mexico.

” If you have ever wondered why people don’t get out of the way of an oncoming storm, a hurricane that is barreling down on top of you, despite days of notice, despite satellite imagery, despite all of the best advancements in communications, then you have to apply that same analogy to what we are seeing now; one bank after another failing, rolling out of New York, rolling out of Brussels, out of London, out of these places that seem so foreign, into our Main Streets, into our merchants’ associations, into our farmer cooperatives. “
