The water in NO will rise to the level of Lake Ponchartrain, which is about 3 feet above sea level right now.
,br> "Lake Ponchartrain is 3ft above sea level, NO is about 6ft below, so waters should rise to 9ft in most places then? Am I reading this right? How high are the waters at the moment."

Simply take any point in the NO 'bowl' in terms of 'below sea level', add 3 feet to sea level and that is where the water will be in 12 to 15 hours.
