no matter how much protection you invest in stopping natural hazards i think will just not work those barriers are not going too last in a bigger storm and nothing is safe during nature and planet earths war against humans
@irelandcool1 I think you're missing the point. Nobody's trying to stop natural disasters. They're trying to prevent man-made ones. New Orleans was fine after Katrina, until the levees broke. The levees were man-made, and made poorly. Just one month after Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Rita made landfall in Southwest Louisiana. It was the same strength as Katrina, but miraculously, nobody died in the storm. Why? There were no man-made structures to fail.
I stayed in New Orleans East when Katrina hit and I had to swim from my bedroom to my livingroom to get out my apartment. I found an apartment above mine and had to stay in there for four days before getting rescued. I had to swim to my apartment to get food. I found a can of porknbeans, a can of tuna fish and a jarof peanutbutter and had to nibble off of that for four days before I got rescued. I manage to go to Lake Charles and Rita hit.
What a great idea. I was a San Diego tourist who could not evacuate in time as the Airport, Amtrak, and Greyhound all shut down a day prior to the mandatory evacuation. I ended up in the Superdome where I experienced some of the best and not so good human behavior I've experienced. All in all though I was thankful to at least have a place to find refuge.
