Katrina moved through quickly and was in and out in 12 hours . If this thing comes in at 110 mph and hangs around for 48 hours dumping 20 inches of rain and pushing water into the city , it will be worse.
Not if the levees hold.
I am in a suburb or New Orleans. The city shouldn't flood. They have improved the canal walls and pumping systems. The canal walls that failed for Katrina were the result of being under the responsibility of the corrupt
Except for Old Metairie, Jefferson Parish should not have flooded. The evil utterly corrupt Aaron Broussard ordered the pumps shut down and the workers sent across the Lake. I saw him on TV give the order. He was like an insane animal. We stayed in Jefferson throughout Katrina and afterwards. It was bad, but we knew it would not be what the insane Aaron predicted.
The utterly evil, utterly corrupt Broussard with his insane decision resulted in a needless $500M dollars in damage to Jefferson.
The pump workers were pleading to stay but he ordered them to leave. I will never forgive that evil man for the damage he caused to life and property (many of my relatives needlessly had their homes flooded)
