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.
An "expert" on the levees of New Orleans on CNN felt that it would be necessary to blow some of the levees that protect the city from hurricanes in order to drain out the water because there are no pumps large enough to do the whole job. From the pictures, the Lake is still draining rapidly into the city.
