The lake is equalizing into the city. There's no place to pump it. Everything will sit under water for months. I'm sorry to say this . . . and it pains me because I have 5 Aunts who have fled the area . . . but, New Orleans is no more.

The sad thing is that the levee's that were meant to save the city will now doom it.

I respectfully, but strongly, disagree.

The loss is catastrophic, well beyond what the MSM realizes, but the structures and the foundations are largely intact. They will remain so no matter how deep the city floods, provided the water rises at a slow or moderate rate.

Draining the city will take however long it takes, but so far the steel and concrete backbone of New Orleans is mostly intact.
