So, the coast has washed away, causing NOLA to slowly sink. After Katrina, there are plans to replenish the coastal wetlands to both lessen the impact of hurricanes on the area, and to slow down (or stop) the sinking. I'm disappointed in you two, arguing for our blessed NOLA not to be rebuilt!! :-( The reason for the sinking though is that they have diverted the Mississippi which has stopped it from depositing sediments along the coast.

With a Road Trippppp??? and a bumper??? Tim is right and so is Tara however to back up Tara's claim (sorry pewper) That the city has sunk quite a bit in the last 300 years as well so the problem is only getting worse. Also, I bet the flooding is a bit more of a problem now since the ground may still be a bit saturated from Katrina. NOLA… With a Road Trippppp??? and a bumper???

They've dealt with the flooding for that long, and they will just have to keep dealing with it if they want to live there. This kind of flooding happens a lot there...I think the only reason it's making national news this time is because of Katrina. Who's eating corn nuts? Well the city is almost 300 years old.

It's always going to rain... But I agree--at least the French Quarter is safe. :) Have you heard of the Baronne Plaza?

The problem here is too much rain falling in a short period of time. That isn't something that will ever go away. New Orleans already has the most elaborate pumping system in the world, but it won't stop water from "pooling" there when 6.5" of rain falls in half a day because there is no natural drainage there. It's something you have to deal with if you choose to live there. Luckily, our beloved French Quarter sits just slightly above sea level and doesnt experience the problems with this that the rest of the city does. The problem here is not with the levees.
