[Paradox]

The problem with NOLA is it's unique vulnerability to complete destruction. Something known for decades. I'm disturbed at reports of hundreds of school busses and police cars left in areas likely to be flooded. I'm disturbed at the lack of preparations for shelters.

I agree, I have seen video and pictures of those busses, when I saw them, I thought to myself, what a friggin CRIME it was that they were unused.

We were massively unprepared for this, and I think this actually shows a vulnerability of all major urban cities to a disaster.

Keep in mind this is a larger disaster than anything, short of nuclear attack, that human beings could inflict. This is NATURE, a mighty force greater than human capability.

That said, I do wonder why the city did not even have reserves of drinking water...
