New Orleans is the worst place in the U.S for Huricanes.

1. -5ft. elevation

2. water on 3 sides in some areas. Missisppi (2) Lake Ponchatrain.

3. Traffic configuration designed by an engineer after a week on Bourbon street.

A fast moving category 5 would kill more than the Falveston Huricane of 1900.

Another thing about New Orleans is that the hurriance would have to come from a SE direction for Max damage..the winds would be NNE puching all the water in the lake south..If the storm hits moving 360 degress just west The winds will be from the south..if the storm hits east into MS the city would be on the Weaker side of the storm(ie camile)

Hurricane andrew was almost a nightmare and a worst case storm...worst case would be a Cat 4-5 hitting miami..then hitting New Orleans from the SE..well the worst of the storm went a tad south of Miami thanks to a last minute jog..and it hit west of New Orleans.

I've visited there once, and looked at some maps and such while I was there. I'd be headed inland already.
