How are the pumps gonna handle that much water?
Swamp critters swimmin' through the streets?
This is truly fucked up.

we have the best drainage system in the world, we can pump out 1 inch of rainfall an hour. Some of you don't get 1 inch of rain all month.
The problem is not the rain though, it's the storm surge. The levees wil not be able to keep the surge out, so image the entire ocean pouring over miles and miles of levees, and then filling up something that is below the normal sea level. you can't keep the gulf water out. when the gulf goes down you still have 20 feet of water sitting there, this will get pumped out but will take months.
