A good Cat 4 would wipe my house from the slate. We are only 5 miles from open water ocean and 150m from a very large tidal river with tide variance of greater than 8 feet each day. If my house got wiped out there isn't an insurance company that would insure me to rebuild. I would just have to move. Of course my house is not below sea level either. Many of the people in NO did just that. Left and didn't come back. This could easily be another Katrina:

How much more of our resources should we or the state of LA continue to pour into a place below sea level?
