yes, its actually worse than Katrina down there, got a buddy whos in the Guard down there, he was there with us during Katrina, says the exact same areas have flooded, and deeper, only thing saving New Orleans is the taller and stronger levvies built by the Army Corp of Engineeers post Katrina.... and those were close to being topped during the rain last week. The difference is no tidal surge to hit them.....yet, if the hurricane hits a near peak levy.... say bye bye
