Hey people! Good folks are dying!
Are there any engineers on this thread that want to talk about lowering the water faster. I do. I don't care if you think I'm nuts ..... lets talk about it.
All the politics can wait until the dying is over.

Since the Ga. Governor is talking about freezing gas prices,
he ought to come to NO and freeze the water, then the National guard could chop it up in pieces and haul it off.
Get the people out first, that can happen before we engineer a draining job.
After that, plug the levees, and fix the pumps. Fire 'em up and voila, 2 weeks later the city is dry. Seriously, the issue with the pumping system boils down to repair and installation. Add some dredges to move water, and the process will happen quicker, without the need to get the stationary pumping system working.
