We can't let this happen.

It's certainly not looking good, though how could we stop that?

An attitude like that surely won't do it!

Then tell us, oh wise one; how do you stop a hurricane? Has anyone ever stopped a hurricane before? In real life?

They all came together in a time of crisis and the hurricane was not as bad as it was predicted to be.

That makes no sense at all. First of all, "They all came together" did not cause Katrina to be "not as bad as it was predicted to be".

Secondly, over 1800 people are known to have died, over 90% of the property within 10 miles of the shore was inundated, and the total value of damaged property is well over 108 billion dollars. Over 90,000 square miles were affected, which is an area as large as the UK.

Finally, "Coming together" is an activity, not a plan. Do you have an actual plan, or are we to assume that the mere act of assembling a large number of people in one place has any effect on the path and severity of hurricanes?
