Two articles. One from Scientific American in 2001–a major hurricane in New Orleans could cause exactly what has happened (sans looting, rioting and mayhem). Another from National Geogrphic predicting the same situtation. Reading the first four paragraphs, I thought it was about Katrina, but this article was written BEFORE Katrina. Crazy.
