Where have you been? The army core of engineers said the levees would not hold up to a direct hit from a cat 3 or higher years ago. typical govt style the levees could have been upgraded to withstand a cat 4 or cat 5 for 10 - 30 billion. now its gonna cost in the 100's of billions.....
what bothers me more about this whole situation is not the fact that the govt failed on all levels (local, state, and federal) but that the govt will repeat all these mistakes over again next time..
