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. |
the whole bottom half of Louisiana has formed from erosion. Years and years of rushing Mississippi rapids bringing the peninsula on down. I wouldnt expect it to be the most stable compared to other normal coast lines.
