Wasn't the big problem with Katrina storm surge moreso than rain? And the fact that much of NOLA is actually below sea level?

building a city below sea level in a hurricane area is as craycray as hiring Matt Millen as your General Manager

True, but there was going to be a port city at the mouth of the Mississippi.

The problem was our levees were poorly built and maintained by the federal government. Had the levees stayed intact, Katrina wouldn't have been such a major catastrophe for New Orleans. Mississippi was actually hit the hardest. The storm surge came miles inland.

No and no.

 

Building a large city on a major faulty line is like hiring you to be my pimp.
