Whoa Peach, that is awful.

My husband and I were discussing the other day that part of the problem in NO, is that they made residential areas out of swampland and that should NEVER have been used...and that is just one thing wrong...

BUT this article is scary for the future--long time future of the whole Gulf Coast..

I'm wondering if that is what the left is afraid will be found out.

Their envirowackos who support the left will NOT be happy to hear that little tidbit.

And if it does indeed poison the Gulf, watch out for even more blaming to go around.

"that they made residential areas out of swampland"

That would be true from Boston to Brownsville, also for hundreds of miles each side of the Mississippi. And many other places in the world.

Boston just spent $14B of federal funds building I-93 (the Kerry/Kennedy evacuation highway)100 feet below Boston Bay.

Betsy flooded NO 5 to 7 feet in 1965.

Something to think about.
