Great plan. Unfortunatley, the looters just stold the cruise ships. :)

But seriously, I do see the cruise ships as being a peice of the puzzle here. If not for rescue, for ongoing housing.

At the cost of at least $500 per person per week, that won't work. Tent cities would be way cheaper.

I don't know if I can find it now, but I read a report that the Corps think it may be weeks or months before they can open the Mississppi River Channel into the Gulf. They keep dredges going full time in the delta to overcome sand bars and shoals anyway. This storm was capible of actually moving the river's channel and mouth.
