housing building codes back then like they do now so to say they're doing nothing is false. Most of the buildings in the French Quarter & etc have been there for over a century. I went to an elementary school in NO & was terrified when I was told that the city was below sea level. I wonder if it wouldn't be cheaper & faster & safer for everyone to just evacuate the city totally & permanently.
We had the flood of the century in Albany, GA in 1994 and another big one in 1998 and several smaller ones since. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but how can they not expect another one before they fix up from this one? Let recent statistics be the prophets.
