correct.
i saw a big special on the discovery channel about the pumps and so forth. well, to this date, only one of the pumping stations have had their pumps and electrical infrastructures moved above the sea level line. so probably same thing is gonna happen again. they had to turn off the pumps so they wouldnt short out. they will have to do that again.
this is not what N.O. needs.
the special on discovery also said that the shoreline in NO is naturally eroding at such a rate that the city won't even be there in 100 years anyhow.
Time to just close it and move everyone out.
sadly, this hurricane could be the death blow to N.O.
let me see if i can find a link to the show that discovery channel did on the info i just posted.
