There ain't no land out there. Click on Satellite button to see the Louisiana coastline below New Orleans. The map of Louisiana looks like a boot, but the toe is nearly gone. The remaining land (?) looks like a spider web, and it's vanishing.  There used to be thirty five miles of soggy land between N.O. and the Gulf. Now there is about thirty-five miles of shallow WATER. That's what you get when you stop the flooding.

Cram 1 million people into New Orleans between the lake and the river and you have a receipe for a disaster. (Psst...I'm not talking about Katrina)

  • The area contains plenty of tennis courts A few of them are extremely threatened because the next big storm will dump twenty feet of water over them. As we all know the balls get heavy and its just no fun to play when the courts are that wet.
