Boy...talking about straining on a gnat and swallowing a camel....talk about splitting hairs.
I know all about NOLA. OF course the French Quarter wasn't established in a bathtub. Duh. But a lot of it was later on once the levies were built...and those...combined with other factors have led to a lot of subsidence of the land. But a good portion of the city...especially the part that flooded...was built under sea level. FACT.
I'm beginning to wonder, like a lot of others, if you even know what you're talking about or just regurgitating the hyperbole the media is putting out.
No doubt this storm is historic for the N.E., and especially for the mariners braving the Atlantic. Let's just keep our senses about us shall we, instead of panicking beyond all reason.
