They are saying on CNN right now that pumping will not do much -- considering breaking down some levees that protect the city from hurricanes to allow the water to drain out.
Somebody explain to me how the water will drain out. Is the lake now below the level of the water in the city? And if so, how did that happen...I thought the levels would equalize.
With the topography of New Orleans, dunno exactly how dynamiting levees is going to do much. The "low" water, which is flodding New Orleans, is well above the height above most of the city.
