Where is Paris? Where is London. Where is Rome? Where is Moscow? Where
is Berlin? Where is Baghdad?

Where is Venice? Where is Holland? Where is The Big Easy.

I will take "what is the difference?" for $2000 Alex.

My question is "what are hurricanes?"

Then, for $5000, name the last major hurricane to hit Venice and
Holland.

Did you notice the "what is the difference" part?

NOLA is not Holland or Venice, although they are losing Venice.

------------------------------------------------
Venice was founded because there were a bunch if islands that were barely
above sea level with available fresh water that a bunch of free traders
could create a base upon. Worked well for a lot of years. Left them free
of the political giants of Italy. They got there fresh water from
underground aquifers. Unfortunately they pumped and the shore side people
pumped way too much water, so the land subsided. Except for the fact that
it is a beautiful tourist attraction the city would be abandoned. Just like
most of NOLA should be abandoned.
