Oh man. I hope the US Army Corps of Engineers can get/keep the pumps online.
I had heard a couple of hours ago that pumps had failed already. I think that's accurate???
According to TWC:
Engineering now allows underground burial in the sub-sea level city, and floating caskets are a thing of the past. "That no longer really never happens in New Orleans because the land has been drained since the turn of the century. A system of water pumps... drains water out from under the city 24 hours a day." (my emphases)Hmm...lucky we didn't have the caskets floating then?
