Do you feel safe?
Hurricane season is almost upon us, there is already a disturbance that the weather folks are watching. The city has announced that they will not be opening any shelters for hurricanes that are cat 3 or above.
The Corpse of Engineers seems to think that they have done a great job repairing our hurricane protection but some have doubts. A letter from Matt McBride posted at Humid City talks about a rusty pipe issue, plus we have the leaky levees that we are told not to worry about from People Get Ready, and flood walls being
stuffed with newpapers from First Draft. Put it all together and you can say that hurricane protection in this city is a crap shoot.
Having stayed for Katrina, and never having evacuated for a hurricane prior to that, I will tell you that I will be leaving town if a Cat 3 or higher comes this way. I would highly recommend this strategy to others.
