Well if there was a choice in the matter... I'd rather it reverse course and disipate in the midst of the ocean.  

However...

if New Orleans were to get hit again, could it sustain another major hit?  Could the damage end up so severe that rebuilding/recovery effort are just not possible?

if a city in Texas gets hit, are there resources to send to help with any rescue efforts?  Would they pull them from New Orleans?  Then what about the needs in that area?

Tough call either way... I guess we'll just have to see what Mother Nature chooses.



As a side note:  I lived in Jacksonville, FL as a child when Hurricane David occured.  I was about 8 yrs old, and my view of things was that it was just a really bad storm.  I remember us being without power and watching from our windows as Dad and the neighbors were out helping push cars out of the street (we lived on a fairly main road) and the torenchial downpour of rain was unreal and watching the trees and telephone wires sway was unbelievable and left.  And the days after the storm - the main thing I remember is kids floating down the side streets in the neighborhood in inner tubes and rafts.
