I won't jump on the OP for his opinion. Certainly he is trying to paint a graphic picture of a dooms day scenario if the levee were to fail.

You guys are taking the bait everytime you attack him however. (SEC rantard style)

I do remember back in 2003, NOAA drove every square inch of S.East Louisiana (I-10 & South) with GPS elevation equipment and found that alot of areas are sinking. At the time, Terrebonne Parish was, on average, 2' above sea level or below and SINKING at 1/2'' a year. Pretty nasty findings and certainly not surprising. (Sorry, don't have a link.)

It's very sad that South Louisiana is sinking. However, she will always be Sportsman's Paradise!

Google Earth has some awesome time lapse images put together too. One is 10 years of the Chandeleurs. Impressive and sad

I have always wondered if sucking all that oil and natural gas out of the ground isn't the main culprit in this.
