USA seriously needs to build better houses. Over here in Puerto Rico, some call it a third world country, our houses have resisted for decades hurracanes that come and go like an everyday thing.
All those houses, looked like they were made of straw, wtf... Why build such houses in dangerous areas? NY is almost 200 years old, if it isn't already, and I bet those buildings wouldn't fall down with a damn hurracane.
Use some god damn cement, leave the luxorious wooden panels and nails for indoor crap, not the actual house.
I have always thought that, a lot of my family have, their houses are made out of wood and stuff, it's really crap... To be honest, no wonder they can't resist a hurricane or forest fires and stuff, their houses are wood and paint, it's balls... If you come over to England, you won't see any american style houses over here, it's all brick and mortar, and like your country, it has withstood a lot of stuff!
I do feel really sorry for the people of New Orleans though, I'm sure it will get back on it's feet, unlike other countries, the government will actually put money into this disaster.
