Disasters like Hurricane Katrina still happen. However, because of advancements in technology meteorologists can now predict events like Katrina. They can also watch things from just about the time they form which will allow for evacuations to happen earlier potentially saving more lives.

A hurricane is a non reasoning entity , please do not ask questions like this. I assume that the questioner is not very familiar with the English language, possibly a recent immigrant.

The answer is that some precautions were taken, but the flood defenses in New Orleans had not been well maintained for some years.

Can you dream about future events you will do?

Yes and no. Technically, dreams cannot see into the future through any magical or supernatural means. However, they can "forecast" the future in exactly the same way the weather report can forecast next week's storms. The subconscious mind, which produces dreams, often picks up and remembers subtle hints and patterns of behavior that the conscious mind overlooks or forgets. It can use this information to predict the outcome of events already in motion, creating the appearance of seeing into the future.
