Re: Is New Orleans finished ?

New Orleans is fixable.

Most of the western side of the Netherlans is below sea level, and a
chunk of it flooded in 1953. They fixed the dykes and pumped the water
out - so can you.

The section of the report talking about the 1995 floods in the east of
the Netherlands is wrong - there were floods, and there was one very
dubious dyke (which prompted the precautionary evacuations) but none of
the serious river dykes actually broke, I was there at the time, and
would have noticed.
