Everything will be rebuilt, but the problem is that they'll rebuild everything in exactly the same way and in a couple years they'll be rebuilding it all again. It's the definition of insanity; doing the same thing again and again and expecting a different result. Here's a tip - put your power lines underground, like we do across most of the UK and Europe. Yes, there will always be power outages in a storm, but above-ground power like this means you have to spend billions rebuilding every time there's a storm, hundreds of thousands of homes are without power for weeks. In the UK very few people experience a power outage as a result of a storm, and those who do have power back within hours, not weeks. We experience flooding all over the UK, we still don't lose power for weeks. I can't believe this needs to be said, but put your power substations on higher ground with a brick wall around them. What kind of moronic planner thinks a substation beside a river is a good idea? Build your levees higher than the bare minimum you expect to see. Mandate brick building and phase out wood construction in areas prone to storms. None of this will be done of course, because too many idiots are running things in certain states.

I heard nothing about hospital generators in basements. Where did you get that idea? Some years ago, flooding struck Houston's Medical Center. All but one hospital had emergency generators above ground: criminal decisions affecting a new building. The city's power was recovered quickly. Another problem: too many hospitals had power controls in basements. So they could not access that power. For weeks, giant generators parked in the streets kept hospitals marginally open while basements were cleared and power rewired to withstand future flooding.

After Katrina blew through, why didn't they move the power lines underground into protective conduits to maintain power supplies to businesses and residental properties. Buildings should be made hurricane proofed over the 16 years as this type of storm is going to be repeated every year. Also, since mandatory evacuations are going to be standard for every hurricane now and going forward, the towns and cities should build hurricane proof safety shelters for those who decide to "ride out the hurricane"; these shelters may have to have emergency supplies for 3 months due to supply routes being shut down into the area.

@voteZDLR

Why? It's expensive. 10 times more expensive, approximately. Beyond that, there are cons to it as well like if something DOES go wrong it takes longer to identify, diagnose and repair and underground line but the fact is they are probably the better option if money wasn't an object. But it is. They would love to do that sort of thing but can't afford it. Also, "this kind of storm will be every year" no this kind of storm hasn't happened since well before Katrina. As they said. Katrina was a water damaging storm, and we rebuilt since then to accomodate that. We were fine this time around, but weren't ready for the WIND this time around. 16 years later though. This isn't the new norm yet, but it is a historical one.

I like how they used alot of StormChasingVideo channels videos without credit.

This state should have FEMA as a permanent residence! I am sure this is a lovely area 6 months of the year, but let’s face it, move too higher ground!

Metairie towers omg my aunt lives there. Thanks for mentioning it.

So many damage and weeks without power. Poor people. Better built power lines in underground, we do this in Germany in 1960's. Stay strong.

have the power go out is like a really weird fear of mine. Especially in the summer. I hope they can restore it quickly for those poor people.

Unfortunately hurricanes seem to serve as a grim reminder of how superficial many modern construction methods are. We need to go back to the drawing board and study the building techniques of the ancient structures that still stand to this very day… structures like the ancient Japanese wood temples, which were constructed without the use of any chintzy nails but instead relied solely on interlocking joinery from the base of the deeply dug foundation posts, to the stout wood frame, to the roof. In this day & age with all pur advances in technology, advanced industrial CNC milling machines, high strength eco-friendly composite materials… we should be more then capable of building reasonably affordable homes that are much stronger & more resilient to hurricanes & inclement weather conditions. Not to say that they would be bullet proof, but hardly any of the residential buildings we tack together with nail guns today, are built well enough to last more then a few decades without requiring a complete rebuild/ renovation & many cannot withstand 100+ mph winds for any duration of time without the real potential of coming apart like someone turned the fan on a house of cards.

It sounds like the marines need to go in 🙏🙏🙏

Unlike Katrina being fair, Ida got bigger and turned into a historic and infamous Hurricane very quickly. The NOLA Mayor said her city did not have enough time to prepare as they needed at least 4-5 days to declare a mass evacuation. The Hurricane Center only stated that IDA would be a “monster” storm around Thursday-Friday. With that said living in the Gulf Coast, I do agree that if possible residents during “Hurricane Season” should *always* be prepared to leave immediately at moment. Keep in mind also, that region is filled with a lot of people who are low income and even very poor. Not making excuses, I am just being honest.

Noah had no mercy when the floods started & THEN the people believed him, too late.
