Re: Bill Gates Wants to Control Hurricanes

Actually, it was the failure of the levees along the shore of Lake Pontchartrain that flooded the South Ward rather than a storm surge from the Gulf (the eye of Katrina passed to the East of the city). The small surge associated with Charley was probably due to its rapid intensification near the coast and the very small size of the storm.

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
