Why don't they just move New Orleans ?

Getting some good wind here now in NW Houston, hopefully just rain tomorrow.

d'oh!! here I go again

Me too.

I also wondered why people would live in New Orleans and for many the bottom line is, It's home. It's hard to move away from your history, people, and culture. Many after the first hurricane moved here and quite frankly just didn't fit in. This was not their home so they left and I understood.

what kills me to see people wanting the goverment to flip the bill for a NATURAL disaster (their home)hey don't get me wrong i feel for the people who lost everything but no one forced them to live below sea level or not carry insureance

I think a lot of people just don't have the money for insurance...

Do what the whole of Europe is doing and move to the UK.

Hmmm.
That's a new one to me....

Tropical storm Hanna should be a category 1 - 2 hurricane before it hits somewhere between Miami and Savannah, GA. And from what the weather channel was saying there is another that is following that. Welcome to hurricane weather. The tornados will follow.

I am not sure where in FL you are Bill. I hope that Hanna doesn't give you too much of a problem in the upcoming week. Best wishes.

Bill, are you crazy?? Cleveland?? I moved to Phoenix to get away from Ohio. lol It may be hot in the summer months, but man, the other 9 months of the year are fantastic. I have a pool, a grill and ac. what more can you ask for? Cook steaks or whatever on the grill, eat it in the ac and then go for a swim. The water is 90 degrees now. Phoenix has 330 days of sunshine. It makes it hard to be in a bad mood when the sun is shinning.

I used to work right on Mill, many years ago. I loved Tempe.

I am surprised with all the open land between Phoenix and Flagstaff that they haven't put up a boat load of solar panels. It hardly ever rains here. I am surprised no one has thought of it yet. The utility companies wouldn't have anything to worry about then.

While we're at it, let's just move all cities. They oughta move LA and SF AWAY from fault lines. I mean, WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? Maybe plop 'em down in Nevada or Arizona.

And all those cities in TORNADO ALLEY oughta be moved to somewhere else, too. In fact, move the whole state of Kansas to NEW JERSEY. That might work.

This is actually a great idea.

So what are we doing to do with all the people? Drown them?

Well unless you know a way to elevate the continental shelf, Stop the polar ice caps from melting, Change the weather there isnt much choice.

Any measures taken will just slow the inevitable. Better to move people now.

Dont get me wrong. I'd love to see a beautiful historic city preserved, to see the polar bears get their sea ice back and I certainly dont want to see our weather get more and more destructive.

Unfortunatly damage is done. Instead of wasting resources like Mike says we should look in to long term answers
