Mayor Mitch Landrieu is concerned about New Orleans flooding.

New Orleans could be a big mess with only 15-20 inches of rain...

Maybe that Joan of Arc statue could float on down to Houston. Would love to have it

I don't know how you ever fix a city like New Orleans that is below sea level. How do they buy insurance? And if they can't is the rest of the country on the hook every time they get a disasterous storm?

Here in the Keys we have the toughest building codes in the world many homes are 13 feet om the air and pay outrageous amounts for wind and flood and they keep going up.I posed the question recently why we don't just self insure,maybe New Orleans needs to do that as well.

No one takes more care of a situation than those who live there.

Mayor Mitch Landrieu needs to worry a bit more about how his sump city gets drained and a lot less about removing statues.
