Watching a telethon on channel 4. A talking head said that the number of people in New Orleans needing shelter since Katrina hit has tripled. Isn't this indicative of a tremendous homeless problem in the region, since the destruction is so total?

Being homeless is usually defined as the condition of being without a shelter and with no reasonable way of obtaining one. Being put out by a disaster *SUCKS*, but these people likely had insurance and/or resources, and will be able to recover.
