80,000, not 200,000....

And yes, New Orleans casualties probably won't go past 10,000.

But in the scope of physical damage, Hiroshima is small potatoes
compared to Katrina's damage.

It?s nothing unusual that your own problems feel as the worst ones, but this is an insult to the inquiry for Japanese. Should have put this person in Hiroshima after the bombs were dropped, to check it out how it ACTUALLY felt in Hiroshima?!

... Hiroshima was just a bombed city. Tokyo had greater
destruction, more casualties, more injured from a single firebomb
raid - it just took 1000 B-29's not just 1.

War is definitely hell, especially for those who start it.

Maybe you should get more upset about how the Japanese
government seems to think that their invasions of Korea, China,
and other SE Asian countries were just casual tourist trips.

Comparing Hiroshima or Tsunami losses to 100 is insulting.
