In terms of flooding, if N.O. does, indeed, flood until it is level with Lake P., then it IS the worst case scenario. That's as far as it can flood
Had the city flooded during a storm the level would have been significantly higher because you'd have to add the storm surge to the normal lake level.
I stand corrected and apologize for overlooking that. There's a reason why I have only made six (now seven) posts in a year of being registered.
I guess I was thinking of the water that would have been around now, not what would have been there during the storm, which would have exacted a much higher death toll and caused even more (hard to believe it's possible) damage. With the surge, that would have been much, much worse, yes.
