Water is rising at 1 inch per hour in downtown NO.

No gas from NO to Jackson, Mississippi.

If the water is still rising at 1 inch per hour in downtown NOLA, how long before the French Quarter is underwater? (something like 13ft about seas level)

If it's only rising 1" per hour, that's not so bad. Granted it's not getting any better, but it was coming up almost a foot an hour after the levee broke.

The question still is, with the pumping system all but destroyed, how do they get all that water out? Portable pumps from FEMA, I guess. That and a lot of time.
