All I know is I was there a few years back. The startling thing is you climbed the dikes and the water was right there. You looked back into the city and it was all lower than the water. You just went yikes, what would happen if the levy broke. I suspect there may be high spots, but the whole city has been slowly sinking as the pumping has lowered the water table. There are no hills, just building and man made structures. The graves are above ground.
I used to live outside of NOLA, we had a house in Biloxi when Camille went over it, it survived.

Latest track: Landfall Monday morning but storm has sped up a little. Morgan City, LA to Alabama border are target areas.
