Do you think that means that they deserved the hurricane?

Nobody "deserves" any weather event or natural disaster. However, I think that most people who live (lived) in NO realize that they were extremely vulnerable to a hurricane hit and that suffering a Katrina was a matter of when rather than if.

If projections of a multi year active hurricane cycle are correct (and there's a La Niña to deal with this upcoming season as well), then NO, as well as the rest of the Atlantic and Gulf coast, is primed to get nailed again.

It doesn't take a brain surgeons IQ to realize that building (or rebuilding) in vulnerable below sea level and exposed coastal regions is just asking to get wiped out sooner or later...
