re: Is Plaquimines Parish going to be un-insurable?

The question in the OP needs to be asked. But IMO, the scope needs to be expanded. There were places in LaPlace and the Northshore that flooded that were not expected to flood. Basically, the levee system in place now protects certain areas but perturbates others. Eventually, the Corps of Engineers will concede defeat - physically and fiscally.
This was a Cat1 storm. Dunno what statistics show but my guess is that we can expect a Cat1 storm every 10-15 years.

The places in LaPlace & the northshore have long been known trouble spots. The truth of the matter is if a Cat 4 or higher hits like Isaac did that the known flood plain extends all the way to I-12 and it could have been much worse for New Orleans, Jefferson, St Charles, etc. if the Miss River continued to reverse flow the way it did. Plaquemines, St Bernard, and parts of Orleans & Jefferson should be discussed. Plaquemines Parish is already a virtual ghost town after Katrina when the oil services industry largely left Plaquemines for Lafourche Parish and Galveston after the storm.

The problem is this bitch sat here for 2 plus days pushing water up into that area. Never had another hurricane do that.
