But my question is... You think USA could have stopped or prevented that much loss? Like what they said "failure of levees and flood walls". I also watched this episode in discovery, that they can actually lessen the strenght of the typhoon by dropping this gel like substance in the typhoon before it hits the land.
It wasnt the huricane that caused the destruction, it was a failed levee. The funding for that levee could have come from the local govt had they not invested 100 billion in a new sport stadium. Very little room to point the finger there. Not to mention does that mean the government now has a responsibility to stop every natural disaster? Hey Jeb, get me the weather machine... I got me some tornados to stop.
