Sh*t. And the whole time I thought it was an act of God. Like tornados in the midwest, or blizzards on the east coast, or earthquakes here in California (or anywhere). Boy you sure have enlightened me.
I wonder why it says "Act of God" on my insurance policy.. I better check that out. hmmm..
Right. It was an Act of God and I'm not trashing or blaming the victims. I lived there for 20 years FCOL. It was a great city and I have many friends there who I am worried about. My brother still lives there and evacuated.
But the residents chose to live there (as did I) knowing the risks, they elected these local politicians, they could have pushed for building stronger levees and they certainly could have all evacuated as I did in 1969 for Camille. That's all I meant. I'm just saying it's not just a case of blaming a few politicians. The whole city knowingly took a calculated risk.
