As we all know New Orleans was ravaged by Hurricane Katrina back in 2005. With a new series of hurricanes coming into the Gulf Coast region, people are wondering what the damage will be.

Now, take all of that aside, and put yourselves in the shoes of the Katrina survivors. Everything you have is destroyed, except for your family and friends. You have no possessions, and only human ties. Eventually, you'll receive a check allowing you to rebuild your home. After such a catastrophic event, would you have rebuilt your home in that area, or would you have hightailed it for higher ground and rebuilt somewhere else? Keep in mind, you've been living in this city your whole life and it's essentially all you've really known; your family is all here, friends, relatives, etc.

Personally, I don't think I'd be able to relocate if I had everyone I've known and cared about in that area. Granted, I'd probably go to a safer part of town, less prone to disaster, but I would much rather stay close to family and friends, to make sure they were ok as well.

What would you do if you lost everything but your family, and had the option to rebuild your home. Same town, or somewhere else?
