Hurricane Katrina bears down on New Orleans
New Orleans is in grave danger from Hurricane Katrina. If the levees break, the entire city will be washed away. Keep in mind that the entire city is below sea level. It's so low that they bury people above ground. When it rains, they have to pump water out of the storm sewers up into the river or into Lake Ponchartrain. If the pumps can't keep up with the flooding, then the city will drown. Larry Stanley was one of the men responsible for putting together New Orlean's hurricane plan. When I asked him what he would do, he told me "I'm on the first plane out of here."
