De Ja Vu All Over Again

It's hard to believe that on the 3rd anniversary of Katrina New Orleans is being evacuated for another Hurricane. Gustav has caused destruction in Cuba and now appears headed for Louisiana. If the levees fail again I'm sure many folks will not return. Three years later the levee system is still not completely rebuilt to pre-Katrina specs, and the poulation is only at 70% of pre-Katrina. The good news is that most everyone does seem to be evacuating.
