[StBernard] Project Reconnection

[Westley Annis]

Not in a negative, but factual sense, hurricanes were meant to maim, destroy
and befuddle folks. It's not IF, but WHEN. 

They will come, and come and come. No guarantees that they will not, nor aim
their death-produced winds right up the gullet. The MRGO almost guarantees
it.

Having levees repaired, reinforced,etc. will act as a first line (since we
lost the wetlands, and maintain the MRGO is so great for our area of the
country) of defense. However, Category 5 winds (and even 4) are going to
cause plenty of damage.

How many time can New Orleans/St. Bernard endure? So many were hurt
seriously. So many will be hurt again. But, people and new generations keep
coming awaiting the next challenge of rebuilding property and lives. At some
point, the sea will reclaim its own, and land moves inland (or else, land
moves outwardly)...

What's next?

ditto, Ditto, DITTO!  

That was my first reaction to Marvin and the recovery committee.  I think
it's great what they want to do.  But first things first. CAT 5 levees and
NO MRGO!  You CANNOT rebuilding a thing until that is done.  If not, it will
all be destroyed again when Tropical Storm "A" rolls thru next year.  I love
the Parish, I would love to come back one day.  But not without the
protection.
