"...a Cat 5 hitting one of the most important cities in the US...It's very much a national security issue because of the importance of NO to our way of life..."
Other than the fact that there were people there, what makes NO one of the most important cities in the US? And what about the 'importance' of NO to our way of life??? And why is that a national security issue?
NO is the largest port in the US and the 3rd largest in the WORLD. That's just for starters. It's a very important city.
