FOX made it sound like NO would have to be rebuilt on another site, oh, and the dead would be floating all over.

They would have had it that bad with this storm if it had come ashore just a couple of dozen miles more to the west. This was not a "diminished storm." It was a Cat 4 and everything people have been fearing. New Orleans got hit hard but they DID NOT get the worst of it.

"New Orleans got hit hard but they DID NOT get the worst of it."

It should have. By just missing NO to the east it means the strongest winds would be directly from the north pushing waters from the lake directly into the city. It also means the storm surge would be worse than if the eye had approached NO from the south or west over land. The city should be flooded according to their worst predictions which were that the whole city would be under 30 feet of water.
