Yes, but flooding is still very likely in N.O.
Granted, any hurricane will test the city’s levees and stormwater pumps, but after the post-Katrina upgrades, they should perform well. Of course, in some especially vulnerable areas, even a heavy rainstorm can overwhelm drains and inundate parked cars or set them floating down the streets. Or at least that is how it was when I was a Tulane student decades ago.
