With all due respect to Rabbi Gil Student, I don't know how one can't see a Middah Keneged Middah aspect of Hurrican Katrina for the Gaza Evacuation. I don't speak for Hashem, but I'm only writing what my eyes see. The comparisons and timing are clear.Both had:

Massive Evacuations
Looting
Graves being moved
Last strongholds from rooftops
Beach-front homes and businesses being demolished
