To a point... you can't control them, no, but you can definitely prepare for the worst.
You live in hurricane alley, you have a city BELOW sea level, and the only thing you have to protect you from flooding is badly outdated man-made barriers.
None of this, prior to the hurriane, was news or a surprise to anyone.
That's just disaster waiting to happen - and as we can see, that's exactly what happened. Nature is bad and uncontrollable, BUT they could've definitely done something about this particular situation ahead of time.
They didn't and now they're payin the price.
