You have confused what you were told with the "facts".
You said. "And as to "The hurricane decreased in power quite quickly, from a type 5 to a type one in a few hours. That's why the rest of the eastern US wasn't damaged too much."
1 Thats the way all huricanes work when they hit land - so of course that limits the damage - you present this a special fact its not.
2 This Hurricane didnt directly hit New Orleans. The bad flooding occurred after the hurricane when the levy broke(which was due to the hurricane). The bad flooding is the issue I addressed.
3 Actually Mississippi where the center of the Hurricane hit DID sustain utterly massive damage. Direct damage from the wind is unavoidable in any coasta area - not i also did not address this. However the after math is not such a continous disaster
You jumped in a converstation where you did not know the facts and showed your ignoreece.
It may be reasonable to build below sea level in an area that doesnt have massive storms. That does not mean it is an area like the south eastern US coast. Storms are a fact of life there and are a principal element themselves.
