I would first like to thank you for coming in after Katrnia and helping us in our time of need.

I have a few questions because I truly what to understand your point of view.

You say all the houses that are in the protected area should be built on stilts like the unprotected area.
Well I am 48 and the only other hurricane that I can remember that did any flooding in the city was Betsy in 1965; and it was no where near as bad as Katrina. In fact these are the only floods in my parents life of 77 years also.

So do you also feel that the houses on the gulf coast and those in Miami should be built on stilts to protect them from storm surge.
I also assume that your house is built extra tough to withstand everything even the 100 yr storms.

Evacuate?????? Yea right. It took days after the storm to move everyone out. Should we evacuate everyone for every storm chance (sometimes 3 or 4 a year) to prevent the once in a 100 yr catastrophe. Should we move everyone inland for every storm that hits our US coast???

I feel that you are just stuck on the fact that the city is below sea level and using that as your catch all. Well that has been the case since this city was founded in the 1700's.

Now if you wanted to channel your effort to a good cause may I suggest that you write your congressman and tell him you do not want to pay for another case like this. Suggest to him that they get the Corps to bust open the levees on the Mississippi River so it can build our shoreline back and quit dumping tons of sediment off the continental shelf every day. This would give us the buffer zone we need to fight storms like this and prevent future flooding.

Like I said before. If you knew all the facts; and not just what you hear on TV you could make better comments.

Thanks
John

Today's Featured Article - Oliver 550 Clutch Overhaul Tips - by Greg Sheppard. I got my 1964 Oliver Model 550 (serial 141-139-519) second-hand and used it for several years before the clutch began to slip. After taking up the pedal linkage several times I saw it was going to take more than that. The engine had been leaking oil at the rear seal and I suspected ... [Read Article]
