It's three years after Katrina wrecked her havoc on New Orleans. Now her Cousin Gustav is on his way.
Maybe I missed it, but I don't remember reading that engineers built better dams or "flood blockers" for New Orleans. If I'm not mistaken, they just concentrated on the more superficial. So now, again, people are fleeing.
Three years ago, there was doubt that a flood could be all that bad, but now there's no doubt.
I'm pretty sure that it would take the bureaucrats more than three years to build a better protective system for the city, so I guess that whatever "rebuilding" which was done was a royal waste of money.
L'havdil, to differentiate, it's like all those plans for a super high replacement for New York's "twin towers," even though there are no rescue methods for people trapped in such high buildings, not matter how they're damaged, innocent fires or terrorist plane crash.
No surprise. Governments prefer sedation, rather than the hard truth.

You're exactly right. Even as I watch news updates on the storm all I keep hearing is officials saying they're not sure if the the levee (sp, sorry) has been reinforced enough since Katrina.
The only differences are people have an attitude of Never Again and are complying with evacuation orders and plans and police have threatened to arrest anyone on property other than their own during/after the storm.
They've made no real efforts to prevent the devastating aftermath of a storm and flooding. Actually, the storm is only half of the problem, the primary concern is the dam and the flooding, which they're still crossing their fingers over.
Hundreds killed in 2005, dead bodies floating down the streets of New Orleans and officials are just crossing their fingers, even though there are cracks in the levee.
Incredible.
As a survivor of the Blizzard of '77 in Buffalo--also known as The White Death--this city can handle any storm. We learned and learned fast how to cope and prevent deaths.
Louisiana is still fiddling its collective thumbs and sitting on their hands.
Usually, I couldn't care less for foreign weather, but I was just in the Carribean during TS Fay and so I still have some residual feelings that are slow to subside.
Bracing for Gustav
Testing the levees in New Orleans
Actually lots of preparations been done. Just because our media is xenophobic, does not mean the goyim have been sitting idle. Regular Americans are dumb, but they are not stupid.

This time the West Bank will be the most vulnerable.
Nonetheless, I like Lazerbrody's ATFAT theory: http://lazerbrody.typepad.com/lazer_beams/2008/08/atfat---a-turn-for-a-turn.html
Could it be that you're both right?
That's my feeling.
The type of changes that should be made in New Orleans would take more than three years to plan and build, not that they may not have tried.
