Shep to the rescue!
Will the last person to leave, please turn out the lights?
People that build houses under sea level next to a "lake" on the coast are insane in the first place. Other than the French Quarter with is high ground nothing should be built there.
New Orleans is a toilet bowl city....thats the chocolate of the city Mayor Nagin....sinking, stinking city lying low and ready for another flush.... get out by hook, crook or yellow school bus. The French screwed up building it there in the first place. And it's upstanding citizens who fled are mucking up the city of Houston.

Good timing. Heineken guy was just about to run out of beer anyway.
I understand and agree with how you feel, but in reality the majority of the devastaion was caused by faulty levees that we were told over and over again were Category 3 proof.
Army Corps Engineers Warn New Orleans Levees May Not Hold in New Storm
The head of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers conceded Saturday that despite aggressive efforts to repair the levee system in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, it was unclear whether the it could hold up to a sizable hurricane this year.
Lt. General Carl Strock, the commander of the Corps, said the agency was carefully tracking Tropical Storm Ernesto, which was spinning in the Caribbean and projected to reach hurricane strength by Tuesday.
He was confident the Corps had done all it could to repair and reinforce 220 miles of levee walls, but he conceded he couldn't be sure whether the system would withstand Ernesto if reached Category 3 status and struck near New Orleans, as Katrina did Aug. 29, 2005.
