jesus h christ, one of the MOST IMPORTANT cities in america and you guys act like its a village in Africa.
25% of oil, i wont go into the importing new orleans does, but as you see prices go up youll notice.
the city at the mouth of the mississippi will forever be one of the most IMPORTANT cities this country has.
just because you guys dont pay attention to the amount of steel, lumber, spices, sugar, and oil that comes from that region does not take away from its importance.
The Battle Of New orleans states EXACTLY how important new Orleans is to this country, because a city that controls that river is as valuable as anything to this land.
It controls Americas most important port. New Orleans.

FletchXXX we're on the same side here. and I did note that I was speaking of the residential not commercial areas.
Everything common sense would indicate in the present geological state this is a terrible place to build homes. This is not a secret and has been known for years.
And to reiterate my point, if the necessary steps are taken to make this area safer and less prone this type of mass destruction, I fear that many who lived there will not be able to afford to live there any longer. It's one thing to rebuild an area that was blown down. It a different story to rebuild and make an area safe that given the right conditions ( that are not so uncommon) will become a part of the gulf of mexico.
