I built on a flood plain and was shocked when it flooded

A few predictions;
People who build houses on an earthquake fault line will have them shaken to the ground by an earthquake.
People who build houses in a mudslide zone in California will have them washed away in a mudslide.
People who build houses in the hurricane zone on the East and Gulf coast will have them destroyed by a hurricane.
People who build houses in a flood zone that also happens to be in a hurricane zone will have them flooded.
People who build houses on the Mississippi River flood plain will have them flooded.
Some people who try to heat or light their home with open flames during an emergency will end up burning them down.
An idiotic federal government will reimburse people, with your tax dollars, for building a house where common sense tells them not to when it’s, predictably, destroyed.

So try to imagine my total, Duh & who gives a flying fecal matter, when this morning’s headlines on Drudge blared “Tape: Bush, Chertoff Warned Before Katrina.” Well, hell’s bells, hasn’t everyone in New Orleans been warned for about 60 years, when man began his feeble attempt to hold back nature with dirt and concrete, that things 7-12 feet below sea level will flood in a hurricane? I was in New Orleans in 1986 or 7 and took one of those city driving tours. The guide told the tour then that the city would eventually flood.

Gangsta Mayor Ray, does anyone know where we parked the school buses, Nagin said, "I have kind a sinking feeling in my gut right now. I was listening to what people were saying - they didn't know, so therefore it was an issue of a learning curve. You know, from this tape it looks like everybody was fully aware." Yeah, well no kidding Ray. And nobody should have been more “fully aware” than the Mayor of a city that sits in a hurricane zone, is below sea level, and watches a cat 5 hurricane bear down on HIS city for a week. Do we have any food and water at the Superdome? Is one of what appears to be about 10,000 unanswered questions Hiz Gonner the Mayor might have asked before Katrina leveled HIS city.

Nagin and the idiots who built in New Orleans in the first place, then stayed while Katrina took aim at them are like the hillbilly that lives with a mountain lion, only the hillbilly is surprised when he gets mauled. Everyone else knew it was only a matter of time.
