New Orleans and Galveston, Steve why would somebody build there in the first place? Galveston Is An Island only a few feet above sea level, whoever built there in the first place should have known better, same goes with much of New Orleans in that it is under sea level. If you were land challenged like the Dutch it is understandable but in the U.S. on the North American Continent, it has never made sense to me. Same goes for places in the State of Washington, like Ocean Shores and Long Beach Area. Someday something disasterous is going to happen in places like that.
