The reality is that New Orleans sits at the bottom of a bowl. It was a catastrophy waiting to happen. At least the Jersey Shore starts at sea level and goes up. It is one thing to build up the land and build on it like Holland, and it is another to build at the bottom of a pit and expect pumps to keep the water down. Image if the storm had been worse? Long Beach Island might have become a strip of sand... As it is New Orleans is still in a bowl and the problem will be repeated.
