Yeh. I never bought into the dire predictions of it taking a couple of months to get the water out of NO but I gotta' admit to being a bit surprised at the speed things are going.
The MSM hype coupled with the lies of local politicans created this erroneous image. NO has been through many floods. Once the levees were repaired and the pumps operable, the water will go down quickly. NO has the means and experience to cope with flooding. In contrast, the great 1993 Midwest flood left parts of Jefferson City and St. Louis underwater for up to three months. NO will be essentially dry in one month.
