Re: new orleans levees only protect to category 3 hurricane?

Mandatory that all homes that are built in the basin have to be elevated to 20' off the ground would be interesting, since almost nobody here does so, yet the "primitive natives" in south america and southern Asia have done exactly that for millennia.

And that matters how? If you are going to live in a flood prone area raising the house off the ground makes allot more sense then building the home at ground level so that it is demolished by any flood.
