By this standard, you should remove all structures along the entire coastline of Florida (and Alabama, MS, LA, TX, GA, SC, NC, etc, etc). These areas are all in harms way and it is only a matter of time before catastrophe strikes.
BTW, history channel showed the Katrina event as a modern marvels episode last night ... they were saying it is going to cost 30+ billion just to rebuild the levees around NO ... and it would take a lot more to make it cat 5 sustainable.
Bashing Bush for this is just plain monday-morning quarterbacking
