I wonder what an earthquake would do to THIS area? I know they're rare, but I researched it recently and Louisiana does have some earthquake history including being affected by one on the New Madrid Seismic Zone a hundred or more years ago. With levees holding back water a lot of times of the year, and during hurricanes, I could see a seismic event creating a disaster that would make Katrina look like child's play!
