I am begining to think that too.


But those outer pennisulas are gettting more eroded with each storm as the river rises. So they may not always be this lucky. But there many people who stayed with their businesses in the FR . Cant fault them, since the city has different sections and elevations. I thought kenner and meterie would be toast. Looks like kenner did get some flooding from the canals.

The levees should be improved to not shut off when the power goes out.

One final point. Fox had a slow old man who was explaining the sections and canals of the city, but noOOOOOOO!,

schung! they had to cut away for one of their stupid fox alerts, rather than letting us in on how the levee system REALLY works. ;(

The other question is how much did the cyclic timing of eyewall replacement as it related to landfall have to do with the fact that the storm dropped in intensity? If the storm had been "off-cycle" by three or four hours and not yet ready to replace eyewall, would it have remained a "5"?

The key for meteorologists is to understand, as well as they can, what caused the erosion from a "5" to a "4"? The same thing with the jog east.

I hate when they do that. Fox reporters have the attention span of a chicken.
