If this breech is not fixed, the entire city may be lost and become "Atlantis." This is no joke.

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....

They actually have an excellent pump system in New Orleans. It can even handle a 15 inch rain storm in a day or so. I heard on the TV that many of the pumps were designed and built 100 years ago, and that they still worked brilliantly.

But they require electricity. There isn't going to be any electricity for a long time.

Your husband is right about the lake and the mighty Mississippi. This is very, very bad.
