Absolutely correct!

You build a city below sea level that in theory will withstand a catagory 3 Hurricane (wrong thinking there in the first place) only to have a catagory 5 Hurricane barrel down on you, you also get a couple days heads up and you do NOTHING??


Instead of sending in 400-700 buses two days AFTER the hurricane why not send them in 2 days BEFORE the hurricane??

I feel for everyone affected by this disaster and believe that more could have been done before Katrina unleashed her wrath.
