I look forward to Pat Robertson being an ass again.
It's still possible that the storm track may veer enough that the city isn't completely flooded. But I don't think it's the way to bet at this point. This is apparently a scenario that people have been worrying about, and trying to find ways to avert, for many years, but the will to build better storm protection for the city hasn't been there. I am happy that it sounds as if there's been adequate warning and officials are taking the threat extremely seriously.

"still."
Hopefully the city will get nothing more than a decent splash of water, enough to kick their butts into doing something more permanent. I've got friends in NO, and my dad's whole family is in Metairie and outer NO.
