Heard someone on Dennis Prager today. Apparently you just need to raise the structures, rebuild them on sand bags or stilts.

Yeah, just leave the place flooded and we can have a modern day Venice.

Oh, yeah. lol.

"So far, so good," said the man as he passed the 40th floor on the way down.

Nature will continue to make the fight more and more difficult as time goes on. When we look at the loss of life here, consider how floods on the Yellow River kill a half-million or more people at a time! The Yellow River is 20+ feet above the surrounding countryside in places...do you want THAT above New Orleans? http://users.ox.ac.uk/~wolf1016/yellow_river_flooding.htm

Consider this... a single Yellow River flood in 1938 (to try to stop the Japanese invasion) killed as many people as would be lost if we had 9/11 happen EVERY DAY for SEVEN YEARS!

Or how about this... if we assume about 3 deaths per day, about 5500 years of the Iraq War death rate!!!
