Well, old fart, none of that threat was on a scale that ruptured levees and broken drainage pumps posed. And that is not just hindsight. That was multiudes of reports and exercises over the years. But we always knew that.

"Surprise" is in quotation marks, because the 9-11 commission, as did so many before it like those in Iran-contra and Whitewater, left more questions for history to decide than it answered or even addressed.
