No I am not. Those deaths were not the result of a natural disaster. The levee break was both predicted for years and preventable if the funds were just spent on it. Those deaths were directly the result of government incompetence.

So are you not going to count deaths from Helene resulting from people not evacuating properly? For not taking it seriously because it was preventable?
