I'm just curious how any times is Louisiana going to be rebuilt ‘again’?....Seems like the state needs to build all houses on stilts at the rate they're going.....not to mention most if not all flood insurance is subsidized.....

"...One who knows the Mississippi will promptly aver– not aloud, but to himself–that ten thousand River Commissions, with the mines of the world at their back, cannot tame that lawless stream, cannot curb it or confine it, cannot say to it, Go here, or Go there, and make it obey." ~ Mark Twain

This was not your typical flood. The rain amounts overloaded the ability of the drainage capability and resulted in lots of areas flooding that had NEVER before flooded. In addition, the rains affected such a large area that the accumulated waters had nowhere to drain. This could have occurred anywhere in the country and would have ended with the same tragic results.

I recall the floods in Iowa+ years+ ago when the Imperial
Federal Government told the people to get insurance BEFORE the floods hit.

Gotta keep that enthonal flowing.
