Ditto. Most don't realize that New Orleans lands are sinking faster than the seas are rising. This is due to ground-water removal, land compaction from growing infrastructure, and lack of Mississippi River flooding (because of dikes) - which years ago replenished land-compaction with new dirt. In other words -- New Orleans flooding problems are primarily man-made.
