My mom told me that she saw a video of Jesse Jackson down there and he was trying to speak to a black lady. The lady kept telling him to get away because the only reason he was down there was to get his face in the news. Now that lady is a person that I admire because she does not allow the wool to be pulled over her eyes.

I also agree that the governments cannot take EVERY precaution against EVERY potential disaster, but when a city knows for over 15 years that there is a pretty good possibility of the city being wiped out, even a 5% chance, by a hurricane, I think I would have taken care of that problem, just like there is a good chance that California will suffer an earthquake. In California I would have the building code set so that buildings are built earthquake proof. Sure, the buildings and homes will cost more, but they will most likely save lives and money in the future. In places where you know it is only a matter of time for a disaster to happen, you take precautions. Most of us have homeowner's insurance and car insurance because of the possibility that something might happen. Reinforcing the levies would have been insurance just in case something might happen.
