Uh, not all areas of the city are, or will be flooded. Think of New Orleans as an ice tray, there is not one dike or levee, but several, which separates the different low lying areas. And by the by, have you never heard of floatation devices? They actualy range all the way up to power boats, you must be one naive person.
