This is soooooo out of the realm of possibility......it doesn't even warrant discussion. In the past 40 years or so, only 2 hurricanes have made US landfall as a Category 5. Those are the only ones I remember but I think there was another one about 100 years ago. Contrary to popular belief.....Hurricane Rita was nowhere near a Cat 5. The possibilities of Baton Rouge flooding from a hurricane are probably less than with a tsunami.
