First City You Think To Literally Go Underwater Forever BY A Natural Disaster?

Houston
Miami
New Orleans
Tampa
New York
Jacksonville

Chose Miami because every Hurricane it floods. Even Thunderstorms sometime flood parts of the city.
Just thought it be interesting to see what everyone thinks. Kinda watched the "It COULD HAPPEN TOMORROW" segment on the weather channel and found if a catastrophic hurricane hit New York directly it could be devastating.

Technically New Orleans was already underwater due to natural disaster. I also heard something about Houston, but I forget what it was. Also, chances that New York gets hit with a hurricane isn't that high, they usually hit somewhere in the south and turn into thunderstorms when they hit the north.

Chances in new York are Extremly low, but it is that big "IF"

New Orleans still exists. Maybe two or three back to back Hurricanes like Orlando had in 2004 then YEAH!

New Orleans is going to win this poll because of Katrina. In reality Miami and New York are way more likely to go down from a direct hit.

@clean-polo, NOLA's flooding wasn't natural. It came from a man-made failure a day after the storm.

Here is my thing on that. Before New Orleans got hit by Katrina, Miami did and got flooded big time but because New Orleans's flooding was more widespread Miami was not covered. What im saying is people don't realize how much of Florida period is water w/o levees. I agree though

Don't get me wrong, if New York got hit with a HUGE Katrina-style hurricane it would be in the water. Like I said though, the chances New York GETS a hurricane like that, matter fact, a hurricane AT ALL is slim to none.

What hurricane would that be? Chances are it will turn into a thunderstorm by the time it gets to New York.

Well weather channel predicted an "ABOVE AVERAGE" season. Anywhere along the eastern seaboard is susceptible
