36. It is more of devestation vs. COMPLETE annihiliation

iuncluding the Superdome.

Look at what happened to the Superdome, and that was only under Cat 3 winds.

Had the thing maintained strength and course and the annihiliation would have been complete. Tens of thousands would be dead.

As it is, the utter devestation is horrific. The nightmare scenario didn't materialize, thankfully, but it should serve as a wakeup call. Water pumps from 1913 and inadequate levee systems must go. Cutting the budget for preparing the city by Bush and the Republican Congress should be thrown into their faces daily.
