This is no joke.
Unfortunately the Atlantis option may be OK with many more people after watching the looting and the shooting and the carjacking and the hostage taking.
My hubby has been saying this all afternoon. In fact, he's been much more blunt. He thinks unless there is a drastic change, N.O. will be gone forever and will be devoured by Lake Ponchatrain and the Mississippi, which he says is unforgiving.
He was convinced after an Army Corp of Engineers expert said that IF they were to get all levys in perfect working order immediately, they could only pump out one inch per hour. The flooding has commenced. There isn't even an established 'command and control' at this point.
This is really, really, bad folks....
