what happens if the water doesn't go down? I mean, is that even possible? I would assume we are looking at months and not days before the water is gone.
As I understand it, there is nowhere for the water to "go down" to from the soup bowl that is--or was--the Big Easy.
Once it fills, I think months to get that inconceivable amount of water out is a reasonable guess. If ever.
We may need to start getting aclimated to the idea of Lake New Orleans.
Even if it does somehow get reclaimed eventually, trying to extrapolate the economic impact becomes an exercise in blindly feeling the edges of infinity. Just for instance, how many businesses based there can survive and restart after that long being shut down? How many businesses there rely on the tourism? I can't easily go on. There's nowhere to go.
