    I am not an expert on the subject, but isn’t there a slight difference between the Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea? I think that there us a marked difference between the balmy waters of the Gulf and those of the North Sea. And as we have heard from all of the global warming alarmists, warmer water fuels hurricanes.

    Though one could probably say that spending money to protect New Orleans would be less of a waste than London and Amsterdam have made, the fact remains that when Katrina hit New Orleans, it was a Category 4 storm. I don’t recall any sort of quantification of strength from the article as a basis for comparison.

    I’ve been saying for days now that when it comes time to rebuild New Orleans, we should get some top Dutch civil engineers and give them the money to do things right. They’ve got to be the world’s leading experts on living below sea level.

    Yeah, but the point is that I think that the nature of their storms is much different. They don’t call the Carribean (sic.) “Hurricane Alley” for nothing.
