It is bad, but sadly, it's bound to happen due to the location of New Orleans.

They actually never finished fixing them.

They should have seen this what with the gulf voast being right there and all, also the dishlike location they built their city...

I have learnt many lessons from the Hurricane situation, for example, "Don't move to a city that is prone to Hurricane's and is built in a bowl that sit's under sea level"

Hopefully Kanye West wont open is mouth again. Probably the stupidest thing ive ever since. You on a show trying to raise money for the victims of Katrina (not all were black) and yet you say what you did. I just didnt get it.

As far as I'm aware, they rebuilt it to withstand category 3 hurricanes, which is just stupid.

I saw some thing on the history channel yesterday when i was half awake, they are apparently using much stronger clay for the levies now then back in 2005 so hopefully they can withstand this time.

The outter bands are covering almost the entire state of Florida. I'm surprised it isn't all rainy and windy right now.

And now Hannah may be heading towards us. This hurricane season is going to suck.

There's a chance it could slide west and spare the city, but I wouldn't get your hopes up yet.

Cuba is getting hammered as we speak.

Bush doesn't care about black people.WW2_freak

Also bush doesn't care about wet people. Namely when Iowa had the flooding in early summer. Parts of Des Moines is still under water.
