If it were up to lake ponchartrain, civil engineering not withstanding, vast swaths of New Orleans would be underwater anyway, storm surge or no storm surge. It was a disaster waiting to happen and it could have been even worse. This leaves even greater reason to fault local & federal officials. They just should have known better.
The nature of epic flooding in the Red River of the North is a different situation given its infrequency and geography.
Equivocating the two scenarios is a stretch.
