hm...mississippi got hit hard by katrina, yet you never hear about them? same with florida.

i was there right after the storm, and i spent several months down there, so i know what it was like, and i also know the people that inhabit that shithole. the city would be better off if they flooded it and opened it up to divers.

cry me a fucking river.

After the BBQ shrimp with the BBQ sauce on it , I decided not to. It simply was not worth it.

What has happened her is understandable as hurricanes are part of this area of the US. But the rebuilding is just as sad as the destruction.

Atleast from my humble opinion

The reason I did not mention Mississippi such as Pass Christian , Bay St Louis , Gulfport , Biloxi is that they were not under 9 feet of water due to levee breaks...

The levee breaks affect a large population of people in NO which required a house by house inspection of a very wide area. Different problem entirely

The storm surge and hurricane force winds did more damge in southern MS then in NO for sure.

Just a question of practicality though... should we even try to put major cities in areas like that? Isn't it a matter of time -- whether it be 20 years, 100 years, or 250 years that something like that will happen again?

Thank You Mr Plunkey!

Atleast we can have a civil conversation

I think if the funds can be delivered to repair the levees, the problem will not happen again. This is the main problem I see

The damage is already been done and the inhabitants may never come back. Culture is lost. I guess the best place for me to get a shrimp etouffee is Houston now
