"The perfect storm could either strike New Orleans east of the city, with gale-force winds blowing south, shoveling water from Lake Pontchartrain over the lake levees; or the storm could strike west of the city, causing winds to heave Gulf of Mexico seawater up the Mississippi River and crash over its levees.
Joseph Suhayda, former director of the Louisiana Water Resources Research Institute at Louisiana State University, uses computer models to study potential hurricane hits. His surprising finding: A severe but not catastrophic Category 3 storm (see next page) would be enough to swamp New Orleans if it slowed down and hovered east of the city. "A slow storm has more time to build up the wind effect over the lake," says Suhayda. Waves can add four to five feet to surging lake waters, he adds."
