Lets go to the top for a minute. SINSULL says "3 YEARS and still gaps? Temporary flood prevention?".
So my question is. If the levies had been all fixed up would the city have still evacuated? If yes, then will this area continue to evacuate every time there is a hurricane? If the answer is no than shouldn't these levies be fixed up and right away.
The cost to have 2 million folks displaced, the cost to have all the help come in. And I'm sure there are other areas of cost I have not thought of. Am I missing something here? Doesn't a little common sense tell us to fix the levies?

And good luck to all the folks that had to get up and leave.
