History repeats itself? Part II
From 1947 (courtesy Hurricane City):
Is it REALLY Pres. Bush's fault? Is it REALLY man-made global warming that would have been fixed in less than five years if we had only signed onto the Kyoto protocol? Or is New Orleans simply in the path of hurricanes and local and state government's in New Orleans and Baton Rouge played chicken with fate - and lost?
Some numbers:
How often New Orleans gets affected? Brushed or hit every 3.94 years
Average years between direct hurricane hits.(usually within 40 miles to include small hurricanes): Once every 13.40 years
Statistically when New Orleans should be affected next: Hit in 2005 by T-Storm & Hurricane
