3 years ago this week, New Orleans was hit by hurricane Katrina, which caused catastrophic damage.
Tonight the city braces itself for a hurricane of equal or greater strength as hurricane Gustav is making it's way for the Louisiana coastline. Unlike Katrina which hit to the east of New Orleans, Gustav is on track to hit on the western side, which is worse as the storm surges are more intense directly east of the hurricanes eye.
One can only hope that the US Government learned it's lesson 3 years ago so we'll not witness the city drowned yet again.
