#5 320 million trees, eh?

I call BS!! I've been down to the coast of Mississippi and even as far north as Hattiesburg MULTIPLE times since Katrina, and the destruction was nowhere near that bad. Heck, the entire MS Coast was virtually only live oaks (which survived), and yes, it did down some pines further north, but nowhere near that many. And, actually, most of the coastal pines were damaged more by saltwater intrustion (surge) than the winds from travelling I-10 across there MANY times.

And, as we ALL know, southern Lousiana don't have many trees anyway. More swampland and "scrub-brush" type trees than anything.
