Sorry if anyone in here lives out in that area but I have to say- why
in the world would people live out there especially the ones along the
worst fault line in the history of the world? It just doesn't make
sense to me. I could give all kinds of analogies that would make it
sound even funnier. Everyone and their grandma **knows** it is just a
matter of time before the big one flattens and kills many people and
here is the kicker IMO.....they choose to live there? They warned and
I had read for the last ten years about the Louisiana area. Sure
enough everything happened just like the experts warned about. I guess
I am missing something. ;-)
Yeah, I myself question the 'rebuilding' of New Orleans. It's in a bowl for all
intents and purposes and it'll just get wiped out again. Not today, not
tomorrow, but it will happen.
New Orleans did just fine until George Bush cut the funds for levee
maintenance. *New Orleans did fine until the oil companies destroyed the
50 miles of marshlands between the city and the Gulf. *New Orleans did
fine until Mr. Go.

But don't worry. *Nobody's rebuilding New Orleans.- Hide quoted text -

Lets say everything you just said was the truth and no embellishments.
Why then did little ole' me know without a doubt that this was going
to happen and more than likely in my lifetime? Crystal ball maybe? Or
just common sense? You can pick.

Name a place that isn't vulnerable. *New Orleans has low spots that were
supposed to be protected by levees and pumps. *The levees were the
responsibility of George W. Bush and the levees failed when they were
supposed to protect.- Hide quoted text -

Dave I no what you are trying to get at and I can appreciate it. But
there are soooooooo many area that one can live. I can give just one
for example - where I live. I'm just using my area because I happen to
live here and I can promise you my dwelling will *never* be swept away
by a hurricane nor (chances are slim to none ) that the earthquake
from hell is going to smash up and swallow my area. The only 'natural
disaster' that can happen (as far as I know) is a tornado. This area
is known for tornadic activity for maybe three months out of the year.
But my specific area isn't a 'hotbed' for such activity. Can it
happen? Sure it can. But there is a huge difference in living where I
do compared to Louisiana or California, so huge in fact that there is
no comparison.
