1,600 people died needlessly here in 2005 when hurricane Katrina hit new Orleans, because it is below sea level. Everyone said they lived their whole lives or how ever many years there and didn't think it could happen to them.
History tells us any time it's man versus the sea the seas always win, it's only a matter of time.
All dams are safe until they wash away a city, then you hear about how unsafe they were and all the problems they had.
