wyntr, I get that. So plan should be: Get everyone out BEFORE the storm hits. After the storm the Army Corps of Engineers returns to complete a full assessment of the levee. It's not rocket science here.
What people forget is similar to the woman they talked with in Mississippi last night. She said, "My house stood up fine to Camille, so I figure I would ride out Katrina." Well, her house did stand up find to Camille, but what about the enormous stress that structure took during Camille. Did she ever think to have the house assessed after Camille.
People get in fender benders every day and don't realize that the integrity of their bumper has been compromised. Then when they get really whacked in an accident, it can be fatal.
