The New Orleans area and the city itself is under extreme risk as we have seen and read. Are these people warning us experts or simply hyping the problem for headlines? Well, a direct hit of a major Hurricane is not only possible, it will happen, the question is will we be able to fix the problem or find a way to control, steer or kill hurricanes before the big one hits?

First let us look at New Orleans from a defensive standpoint. The city is sinking slightly, not sinking as much as Mexico City, but we can see the signs and have measured the truth. Liquefaction is also a huge issue. Annually some 28 square miles of Mississippi River Marsh is eroding away. At this rate it is nearly an acre of land in 24 hours and that is real. This causes a problem because with tropical depressions and Hurricanes comes severe flooding like we saw with 2001 storm in Houston, imagine if that hit New Orleans and the Delta had no Marsh area to slow the flow of the increased water lev els and river. The city would not survive. The water would flow right into the lowest point and that is right into the city itself, like pouring water in a bowl. The costs would be in the 100's of Billions maybe more.

An Andrews style direct hit on New Orleans and add some Hurricane winds and New Orleans could be submerged by 20 feet of water, the sea wall did not fair well with the last minor Hurricane. If the water would have been higher or a more lingering storm and New Orleans would have been devastated and the 1 million inhabitants would be floating like ants on a log floating down the river into the Gulf, you could have 150,000 drown within hours. That is serious isn't it? It is our job to protect our people. We have the where with all to fix this problem.

Why is this not a priority, we must protect people. Lets look at the recent Hurricanes, not the old ones. Obviously a 1900 Galveston today in New Orleans would be most unfortunate. But in 1965 Betsy put p art of the city under 8 feet of water. 1992 Andrews hurricane missed by about 100 Nautical Miles that would have sunk the city no problem. In 1998 Hurricane George missed at last minute but dumped lots of water and still costs millions of dollars. Look at the Corpus Christi Hurricane, which dissolved as it hit South TX and filled up the area? You know we really ought to pay attention to the past and the ESRI modeling and 3D computer graphics of such a Hurricane.

I heard a talk with the former editor of Omni Science Magazine in Columbia University's Observatory in Tucson at the Biosphere about this and in one of his non-fiction novels he incorporated what would happen if a large Hurricane hit New Orleans. The NY Times did research on this with a huge article and there are lots worries in New Orleans over these issues. Most of the plans for reinforcement include first and foremost good evacuation programs to prevent large numbers of loss of life, yet no one has started t he absolute redesign and fixing of the long-term issues.

Restrictions from debris of the flows in the Mississippi are also at issue and combine this with a huge Hurricane, there is just no way New Orleans can handle it. It would be a complete ecological disaster also. The insurance costs to all businesses and homeowners after such a loss would also have a ripple effect in our economy, not to mention the tax dollars needed to fix the problem. And could FEMA handle a CA or West Coast Major Earthquake at the same time as a post New Orleans Flood from a Hurricane event?
