Can't make this frickging place up.
Apparently you can because I drove through the quarter to get to a site around 9 and it was one of the only areas that didn't have water in all the streets.
It's like some of yall don't get that the intensity of the rainfall plays a factor. The kind of rain we got this morning will overwhelm pretty much any drainage system out there, but that water went away extremely quickly.

So because “all” the streets didn’t flood it is being made up? I want to spin this one into your non stop arguments.

Read the edit. Or don't.
There are plenty of areas all through out the city with horrible drainage that are still impassable. The system in the quarter is doing what it's designed to do, and frankly doing it well.

New Orleans folk need to shut up about Baton Rouge, then.

New Orleans has a lot of redeeming qualities. Baton Rouge does not.

The Quarter never really had any issues. The drainage work being done the past few years were seen as preparing for the future because that part of the city's drainage system was some of the oldest. The Quarter flooded in 2017 when the first "improvements" were underway.
This is from this morning:

The quarter drains, the rain just dumped really fast for a concrete jungle to get rid of immediately.
I was told the water didn't stick around when the rain slowed down like it did for a lot of other areas in the city. Drainage system worked.
ETA:
But I ain't there, so I'll back out of this.

The quarter is the highest part of the city. 
But this was a frick ton of rain in a short amount of time. Just like August 2017. Pumps can only do so much.
