He has had one hell of a Doomsday prediction for a Hurricane of this magnitude.
He says that it will take 6 months just to pump out the city, IF it fills up with water..
He had predicted a loss of 40,000 lives with a Force 5. I pray he is not even close.

Six months? While the city is under sea level, shouldn't you be able to let out much of the water in the city just by breaching the upper part of the levee walls in a few places (after the initial storm flooding on the Lake and River have ebbed). It wouldn't let out the below sea level stuff, but it should lower the stuff above the first floors.
