Forgive me I can't remember the name, but someone found an article in some engineering magazine from some years ago which stated that it was just a matter of time before New Orleans got wiped off the map by a major storm. Of course no one wanted to listen. The location itself is geologically unsound. We can build all the levees we want - we're just holding off the inevitable.

California is screwed too. Over our liftime there is a 1/20 chance of a major earthquake.
