posted this on the Hurricane thread.....
Here's where it needs to be posted.
My post for the day is the revelation that dawned after looking at the map.
The hurricane narrowly missed NO. The miss is judged a miss only by defining a hit as being passed over by the eye structure. Katrina traveled north dumping rain as it went.
The rain fell, ran off to streams, to rivers, to the Mississippi river that runs right through the middle of NOLA.
Most the water that fell ended up in the Mississippi River basin and is destined for NOLA. It passed by as clouds but will return as runoff.
It's going to be a long time before it is dry enough down in that city for anything near normal life.
We Americans, along with our friends like you, will resolve these problems and save as many people as can be saved. Prayer helps.
You ever been to The Netherlands?
New orleans is one of our oldest cities. It was not under sea level when it was firt settled. I don't know when it was discovered to be below sea level but it was not that way to begin with.

--You ever been to The Netherlands?---
Yes. I chose not to live there.
So New Orleans could lose the river that is its very meaning for existence if that happens. And it could well happen in our lifetime.
We might know sooner rather than later...
So instead you picked the most populated, earthquake prone state?
