good pt. It would be nice if the pumps were started too.
What a bonanza for the inept city government of NO this storm will be! They will have the feds replace the shacks in the 9th Ward with new dwellings. They will get the non-working pumps replaced with ones that do work. It will take billions of our tax dollars for all sort of reconstruction projects. Someone better monitor it very carefully though, because the leaders are no less adept at looting than their citizens. They could have replaced many of these ancient diesel pumps if the corruption endemic to NO hadn't made rich men of past and present officials.
