NYC hands down

If a cat 5 like storm hit NYC it would be worse then anything that could ever happen in New Orleans

New York City... the surge would inudate the area and it'd be impossible to get everyone out(it'd be even worse than the mess in New Orleans). First of all, complacency, and second, it's just impossible. You'd need 3-4 days to even try... and there's so much uncertainty that far out.

Even a Cat 1 in LAX would be a major disaster.
