I remember when the last big one hit... it must have been in 85 or something... I was living in Metairie right by the levee. (big hill to keep water out). Lake Ponchatrain came right up over the levee and flooded our streets badly. They have since raised the levee another 20+ feet... so it should help alot. It's the big lake Ponchatrain just north of the city that will cause the biggest problem if there is a direct hit.

good luck my old friend.
