From wikipedia:
A recent study by Tulane and Xavier University notes that 51% of New Orleans is at or above sea level, with the more densely populated areas generally on higher ground. The average elevation of the city is currently between one and two feet (0.5 m) below sea level, with some portions of the city as high as 16 feet (5 m) at the base of the river levee in Uptown and others as low as 10 feet (3 m) below sea level in the farthest reaches of Eastern New Orleans.[24]
No New Orleans is not 30 feet below sea level.

Yes, most of NO was NOT destroyed. You wouldn’t know it by the news, however.

Oh ok, I don’t trust wikipedia so I checked with USGS and you are correct. New Orleans has a minimum elevation (or depression) of 8 feet below sea level.
I did an Obama, I fudged the numbers to make it fit my statement. OMG! Obama has got to go, he is bad influence on me. LOL!!!
