Goodbye New Orleans?

[Donzo]

Predictions have Gustav's track just west of New Orleans on Monday...storm surge could be high.

Might this do the city in for good?

I only hope that we see some competency at the state and local level this time.

[Shifty]

They seem to be ahead of the game this time. Hopefully lessons were learned at all levels.

Tax dollars are repeatedly wasted on rebuilding places that should never have been built to begin with. The rest of the country is expected to underwrite the policies for all the people who live where things like hurricanes are a constant danger. It's one thing to rebuild a port that is a necessity, it's another thing entirely to rebuild luxury homes by the sea. A new law should be passed immediately. If you are not in an area like that by necessity, you get ONE payment for damages. If you do not take it and MOVE, you don't get paid again.

McCain is considering postponing the convention due to the possibility of Gustav hitting New Orleans.

My Brother and a couple of his partners are heading out down there in the morning. Don't want to be in his shoes after what he told me about Katrina.

As for response, we have a REAL Governor now. Of course "Chocalte City" Naggin is still down there.

we had quite a few CAP members from here in nj go there for katrina. there was a very very large CAP presense then......if anything bad happens, we will again. aaannnnddd.......they're all vollenteers. but virgil is right though......it is govt money sending them....thus, it is our tax dollars.


he is also right.....people that don't NEED to be there.........well, they should be on their own. sounds cold, but they knew this could happen.

[lasersailor184]

I'll be honest.  I'm going to be laughing for a week if a hurricane levels New Orleans....... AGAIN.

Like it or not, Cap is correct. Given what happened with Katrina anyone that does not have a need to be in New Orleans should be gone by now. Not one of those people in New Orleans can say they don't know the possible consequences of what could happen during another hurricane.
