Re: [RC] News from Louisiana - VERY OT - Kristen A Fisher
I have to agree and I don't read Scientific
American. The LOCAL authorities [upon whom the greatest burden is incumbent both
before and after a disaster] KNEW this could be an issue.
Really, the break of the levees has caused the
biggest problems. Other areas hit by the hurricane are destroyed, yes, but do
not have the issues of being flooded out of their homes, walking in diseased
water, etc etc ON TOP of the destruction of the hurricane. If it were not for
the levees breaking, how different would this be from Andrew, Hugo,
etc?
