Oct 2004 prediction of the New Orleans disaster.
The prediction was in the Oct 2004 issue of National Geographic and gave a good description of exactly what could (and did) happen to New Orleans. It mentioned that it was in the top 3 or 4 of FEMA's worst case disaster scenarios for America, up there with a terrorist attack on New York or a major earthquake in LA.
They also mentioned that the Bush administration slashed the budget for the plan that was drawn up to try and reduce the risks. Then again, in this case they may have been right. Not much work would have managed to be accomplished before Katrina struck. Then again again, the Bush administration wouldn't have known that either. *sigh*

It's amusing that the LJ anti-spam mechanism made me enter
a visual check-code to clear my short comment(s) of today but
didn't make a fuss over the foregoing monster.
