Good thoughts Rande. I think this has showed how we have neglected to plan for contingencies here, and greatly ignored our own infrastructure. Computer models showed that even a Cat 3 hurricane might swamp those levies - heard that today from a spokesman for I believe the Army Corp of Engineers. Land has eroded from that area each year since the levee studies were done in the 60s. Some of this could have been prevented in New Orleans anyway - but it would have required money - to increase the height of the levees - but MUCH less money than will be lost here - not to mention the lives as you say. It is a damned mess - but people there are hardy, and will recover and rebuild in time. But right now - they need help from the US - this is a huge disaster.
