I've messed with a bunch of computer simulations for New Orleans based on storm angles and intensity. Horrifying is too mild a word, but I don't have another one handy.

Here's what NOAA thinks will be the situation at St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans after a Category 4 storm.

You can watch the Quicktime movie of it here

Some of the models suggest far worse than that.

I have an ASTM meeting to go to in NO in December.... think they'd get cleaned up by then? Wow.... it may finally happen...

OMG. My thoughts are with the people in New Orleans. There is no way they are going to get everyone out, for many reasons.

People won't all leave..i.e, the homeless sleeping in alleyways , because I read that the French Quarter will cease to exist.

I hate being an alarmist, but OTOH, we have to face the facts.
