One has to marvel at the thinking behind the levees. Yes, lets build them for a cat 3 hurricane and they will fail at cat 4-5, which will surely come....duh!

Can you imagine if they put this to the vote of the people they would vote to build it to Cat 3 strength?

It is like building your home real cheap to protect you up to say 50 mile an hour winds....you get a real cheap home and wait for the day when you know winds will exceed 50 mph and it all comes falling down.
