"The real story is whether we can get the resources into the city in time to save it."

Still think New Orleans dodged the bullet? I only ask cause I was badly treated by those that made that claim, while I stated it was not so, and that thank God the levies held and that was all that spared New Orleans.

The one thing I am having big trouble with is the design of the Pumps. The theory behind them is great and they have obviously done the job for many many years

HOWEVER, the pumps are there to pump out water -- Yet they do not work if they are under water! Does anyone see the flaw in the design here???????

You've asked me that question twice now, for some reason I don't understand.

I was literally despondent on the threads Sunday night thinking the city would be destroyed.

The storm took a jog to the east and it did look like the city was spared. A day later we know it wasn't.

So why exactly do you keep asking me this question?
