New Orleans breathed a sigh of relief when it appeared to have missed most of the damage, it was only afterwards that the chaos started there.
Talking of sea-levels, it said on the BBC2 programme Coast last night that Scotland is rising by 2mm a year and the south of England is sinking by 5mm a year.
We are living in the middle of a see-saw.

Your quite right that there was adequate warning and where would you put 3 million people?
The thing to remember is human nature, out of the ones that didn't evacuate a lot stayed because they didn't want too. Last year when we were going through it we looked at our options and the sensible thing to do was leave and find a hotel futher north but we um-ed and arr-ed and made the excuse that we had the 2 dogs and as shelters don't take them and most hotels don't we would brave it out. People feel safe in thier homes, the old saying my home is my castle etc... Luckly it didn't hit and we were ok a bit of roof damage and a new fence, but if it had who could we blame, the goverment for not sending buses, the Redcross for not airlifting us out. Remember when critizing there are always 2 sides to a story.
