Before 9/11, the Federal Emergency Management Agency listed the three most likely disasters that America was going to have to face: A terrorist attack on New York, a hurricane strike on New Orleans, and a major earthquake in San Francisco!
As predicted, there was a terrorist attack on New York City - something that had been predicted, but nobody was prepared for. 9/11 will always be remembered as a horrifying day.
"The New Orleans Hurricane scenario, may be the deadliest of all." Unfortunately for New Orleans, the writer of The Houston Chronicle that published those words were correct.
In 2005, New Orleans was hit by a devastating hurricane that left hundreds of thousands of people homeless for weeks - and took the lives of many.
Officials were also unprepared for a devastating hurricane to hit New Orleans - even though it was named one of the most likely catastrophes to happen in the United States. You would think that the government would have prepared a little more - but they did not.
Now the question is, will a massive earthquake hit San Francisco - and will we be ready for it?
