What's your point?
Or were you just throwing out whatever menial response you could think of?

The dollar amount is a very REAL argument in pointing out that people are just plain blind when they bring up OTHER storms and the responses to THOSE storms as some kind of measure of how "Katrina" could or should have been handled.
It's like trying to compare the impact of being "hit" by a car going 5 MPH, to a car going 50 MPH.
Your entire reply is filled with inane non-sequiturs.
It DOES NOT MATTER where Katrina hit. Katrina was worse than BOTH THOSE HURRICANES.
Quibbling over the "timing" of the damage is insanely stupid.
If the hurricane hadn't occurred, there would be NO DAMAGE.
Such a crazy quibbling is like saying that the Twin Towers didn't fall when the planes hit them.
We would obviously assign the blame to the deaths that occurred when the Towers fall to the terrorists.
But for some reason, you think it's important to point out the irrelevant...

It's not for you that I post the information on the storms.

I have proven you wrong on this claim so many times, using the DIRECT WORDS FROM THE FEMA WEB-PAGE, that it is just insane for you to continue to repeat that...
FEMA IS supposed to coordinate the out-of-state disaster response assistance. That is what FEMA says it is supposed to do.
And they STOPPED people from entering.
ANYBODY who looked at this disaster could see the problem was with too little response.
