Just visualizing here.
I know how my pump in my pond works. When it sucks all the water it brings with it all the debre and it collects in the filter. I can just see all those dead bodies being sucked toward the pumps and collecting there.

Well that pump seems to be working......
Actually they've been pumping some since yesterday afternoon. I guess the MSM is slowly catching up..... From the Times-Picayune:
Breach closed in 17th Street Canal levee
Sunday, Sept. 4, 2005 7:32 p.m.
By Joe Darby
Staff Writer
[snip]
In eastern New Orleans, 24 pumps were draining 700 cubic feet of water per second. In St. Bernard Parish, water was being drained through breaches in the levee. In Plaquemines Parish, the Corps was “notching” levees with gaps up to 100-feet wide so that water could flow back into the gulf. The notches will be plugged with rocks after the area is drained. In addition to dropping huge sandbags by helicopters, the Corps conquered the 17th Street Canal breach by building a rock road to the gap, where rock aggregate was piled into the breach. Workers got a backhoe to the site by hauling it on a floating bridge by pulling on cables, he said. [end snip]

Have they uncovered Sean Penn's boat yet?? And don't forget to pray for Sean and his boat load of prophylactics. Somewhere in NO, there is some dude that just took Cialis.

If the breech was closed Sunday afternoon, then why am I seeing live pictures of them still working on that breech?

"In eastern New Orleans, 24 pumps were draining 700 cubic feet of water per second."
If I remember correctly, it takes 27,000 gallons to cover an acre with 1" of water. If so, them pumps are gonna be runnin' a while.

When do they start pumping in enough concrete to raise the ground level to at least 25 feet above sea level?
