New Orleans levees are currently built to handle Cat 3 storms. They only gave in a handful of places -- granted that was enough to wreck havoc. But this was a 500 year storm, meaning only to be expected once in any 500 year period.
They'll rebuild, and they should. New Orleans has too much history and too much pride not be rebuild. And they may strengthen the levees in the process.
I can speak from some experience with living through major hurricane damage. When it happens, a real "we're not going to let this defeat us" attitude takes over. It becomes important to rebuild -- it's a kind of victory over the tragedy.

I hope something positive will occur out from all of this devastation...
My soror, AKA2D91' lives in New Orleans was able to evacuate to her folks house in Baton Rouge...
She remains positive...
But, I still hear utter loss for words for someone who is actually down there dealing with this "insanity"...
I hope folks who remained in NO and MS will have some potable water to function.
