No one could have prepared for? Oh hell no, the city was built on an area below sea level (6 ft) surrounded by water.
Hello simple engineering says danger danger. Hurricanes have flooded the city before, not to this extent, but urbanization of surrounding riparian areas only leads to greater amounts of flooding.
I'm agreeing with you, Brian. This is not the time for assessing blame. That will come later. And believe me, it will come. But now is the time to send money, whatever you can, anything. My wife and I are putting a check in the mail tomorrow to an organization of our church which is specifially set up for disaster relief. So at this critically desperate time, I'm suggesting we all keep our mouths shut and our wallets open.
