Don, I don't thinks anyone from the Netherlands would agree with you. Yes, they had a major storm surge disaster in 1952 (date?). They swore then it would never happen again. Theyt began the Delta Project, some of which is still ongoing. They have spent billions. Question is will we have the resolve to do something similar for New Orleans and other coastal cities. The residents of Galveston, Texas did it themselves after they were wiped out. Of course is we keep melting the ice caps and glaciers no one is safe, but in that case I think I would rather live in the Netherlands, home of the world's greatest hydraulic engineers. I would but my bets on them before us. David
