Hurricane Gustav is approaching New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, and we're about to find out if billions spent on Katrina recovery was worth it, or if the money went into a sinking money pit that matches the sinking bowl that New Orleans sits in.
FEMA, Louisiana's state government and New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin have a chance to prove that they've improved their plans in their response to the approaching threat.
The Army Corps of Engineers reports that their improvements to the levee system around New Orleans and in southern Louisiana are 20% complete. Uh oh. And parts of the city remain nine feet below sea level and continue to sink.
People who are choosing to stay in the strike zone need to reconsider TODAY and leave TODAY. By mid-morning tomorrow, it will be too late.
