The city of Houma, Louisiana is bracing to receive the brunt of Hurricane Gustav as of September 1, 2008. Houma has no levees, and years of environmental erosion have left the town bare to the elements.Associated Press: Gustav on track to become Cajun country's Katrina (September 1, 2008)
Marshland Buffers Gone
Marshland acts as a buffer between hurricanes and towns. A storm will start to lose strength as it reaches marshland, and will be weaker once it arrives to populated areas. Unfortunately, environmental erosion has destroyed 900 square miles of coastline in the Houma area.Associated Press: Gustav on track to become Cajun country's Katrina (September 1, 2008)-
