They were actually discussing that on the news last night, TIS. They were saying how people in Louisiana, etc. must view hurricanes the way that people in CA view earthquakes. I remember my father telling a story about a guy he met in basic training who lived near the Mississippi River. Every spring, when the banks would swell, they would move up to the 2nd floor of their home, then come back down when the water receded, scrape the mud off the walls, and start over again!! Can you imagine? But I can't imagine devastation like this. It's not just a few homes or a few neighborhoods. The entire city is just GONE. I read one report where they likened New Orleans to Atlantis.
