The one thing you need to undeerstand about the topology of NO, is that it's about 12ft. below sea level, and sandwiched between the Mississippi River and Lake Ponchetrain(sp?).

With a storm surge of 25 ~ 30 ft (plus all the rain).... They're screwed.

This is the one we ALL knew would take out N.O. eventually.
