Re: Lake Ponchartrain and New Orleans

What everyone fails to remember, the size of the storm really does matter. Everyone gets transfixed on the center, but it is the size of the storm that creates the huge storm surge that comes with the most powerful storms. They can push an unbelievable amount of water for greater distances and time. This is where peolple make the fatal mistake of sometimes choosing to stay behind to guard their property.
