[QUOTE="Maren, post: 42001729, member: 203932"] But that is just it, as I showed a house near the coast is historically in greater danger of flooding than in New Orleans. As I mentioned in my previous post, the coastline along the Gulf of Mexico in Mississippi has been hit by over 25 feet of water twice in the last 50 years. There are areas of Florida that have been hit by hurricanes (and the associated storm surge) even more frequently. As for not building on the Mississippi coastline, I was referring to the Gulf Coast of the state of Mississippi which keeps being flooded by hurricanes and not the coastline of the Mississippi river. Though honestly, I'll agree that some areas of New Orleans (the ones most below sea level) should be reverted to flood plain rather than rebuilding. One interesting thing I found, of the [URL="http://www.insure.com/articles/homeinsurance/hurricane-strike.html"]10 most vulnerable places[/URL] in the United States for a hurricane to hit (based on economic loss).
