Of course, the folly of New Orleans is that it is a coastal city built below sea level. Much of the damage caused by Katrina was unrelated to the wind directly, and was produced by flooding. It doesn't much matter what your construction material is when the water rises. The smart thing to do would be simply to abandon the city. With sea levels rising for the next century or longer, large sections of the Gulf Coast and Florida are essentially doomed.<<
Excellent point - this is just the beginning for all ocean coasts. On that note, CHEERS! Pete ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
