Why did New Orleans suffer extreme flooding as a result of Hurricane Katrina?

Choose all answers that are correct.
New Orleans had no defenses against storms and flood waters.
More than 50% of New Orleans's neighborhoods are at or below sea level.
The walls built to keep water out of the city failed when lake waters rose rapidly.
No one knew that the city's levees needed to be strengthened.
