I am not sure what this post has to do with a personal finance forum, unless I guess you consider not just the human tragedy, but there is definitely going to be current and long term costs involved.
Unfortunately, I know about both, as I am a hurricane Katrina survivor Having lived in hurricane country all my life, I know really there are not answers - just like there are none for 9/11. Humankind was given "freewill", the will to choose, which in turn contributes to some tragedies. As to the why, if you are Chrisitian, a study of the bible will tell you that God will put us through many trials and tribulations in this life to test our faith and prepare us for an eternity with Him.
Were it not for those faithful Christians who gave SO much to us in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina, we would have really been living in hell on earth. There really are great people in this world.
