Last Post Wins Round 2

The sad thing is that the US is really like a third world nation when it comes to storms like this. They just have barely invested into dykes and the likes to keep things safe instead they board up, pray and run.

Well, New Orleans was destroyed in Katrina because the levees broke, letting in floodwater from the lake.

Actually the Levees broke after the storm and they broke cause they where not up to par. It is just not something that is considered let alone prioritized by the state and federal government in the US. Here in the Netherlands it is an integral part of the government agencies in charge of the matters, it costs a fortune, but well we learned the hard way what happens if you are not prepared.
