Wednesday, October 11th, 2006 Catastrophe Property

The entire East and Gulf Coasts are subject to hurricane impacts, but some areas are much more vulnerable than others. Dr. Stephen P. Leatherman, director of the International Hurricane Research Center, has released the Top 10 List that nobody wants to be on — “10 Most Vulnerable US Mainland Areas to Hurricanes.” New Orleans tops the list with the protective levees of this below-sea level city being in little better shape than when Hurricane Katrina flooded 80 percent of New Orleans last year.
