We may see if Bush’s flood gates and pumps at the lake end of outfall canals will do the job: https://www.floodauthority.org/the-system/permanent-canal-closures-and-pumps/

Katrina didn’t hit NO...it hit the Mississippi Gulf Coast. NO was destroyed by the failure of its pumps and levees because of political malfeasance with monies that were supposed to go to the upkeep of them. Maybe this time NO can claim they took a direct hit and place the blame correctly.

Round them all up, and put them in the stadium of the New Orleans Saints.

Oh wait...

Ever been to the Netherlands?
Ever seen pictures?
Seems like a very nice place!
Just saying, nothing meant!
Spent some time in New Orleans the summer after Camille it was still bad but people are resilient! They come back.
Have a good night.

The hurricane is not due to hit Louisiana until Sunday 48 hours. Seems plenty of time to evacuate. What is this Mayor talking about?

Yeah, the problem with using one catastrophe to take the heat off the previous one is that sooner or later you end up with a ditty bag full of catastrophes. Short of Yellowstone blowing, I’d say Dementia Joe’s is getting pretty well stuffed.

He’ll send someone else.

I remember a bunch of New Orleans Police Department cars were found abandoned in Houston after Katrina.

Indeed.

When are they going to realize that the whole city should be moved? How many times are other people going to have to pony up big bucks to rebuild the place and take care of the people who don’t have enough sense to live somewhere else?
