[quote:Anonymous Coward 77362305:MV80MDgzNTcyXzc0MDY4NzIzXzRGOTk2NUI1] [quote:Anonymous Coward 77608987:MV80MDgzNTcyXzc0MDY3NzI2XzY3OTA4MTZD] This is a "Sleeper" storm. No one is paying much attention to it because there aren't "severe" winds. But the wind is not the issue here: Storm surge is the issue. A Tropical Storm or Category 1 hurricane will only push a storm surge of about 4 to 6 feet. Most folks know that (under normal circumstances) that isn't a lot and won't so much damage except to low-lying coastal areas. But THIS year, the Mississippi River is 16 feet above sea level due to the almost constant rains deluging the midwest. The levees and sea walls along northern New Orleans are - at max -- only 20 feet above sea level. Do the math. If the river is already at 16 feet, and a small Hurricane comes in with a 5 foot storm surge, ALL of the sea walls get over-topped and a trillion gallons of water pours into New Orleans. Even worse, the Army Corps of Engineers filed notice in the federal register two years ago, that SOME of the sea walls experienced "subsidence." In layman's terms, they sank. Some of them sank two FEET. Bye Bye entire city of New Orleans! [/quote] When the blow up the levees again to save the rich part of the city by sacrificing the shitty parts, yes, the walls will experience "subsidence". [/quote]
