No it doesn't. You don't understand how the system works or what it's designed to do or how any other system would handle the type of rainfall we got this morning.

The Quarter is holding more water today than it did during Katrina.
It's not holding anything. And storms have different rainfall patterns. Just stop while yo're behind.

Good news is, it wasn't a dead body...

Funny the city was more worried about taking down statues than fixing the pumps

Sure thing friend. Can we move on now so I can keep bitching about Toya?

If it was designed to have garbage can races down Bourbon Street then I guess you are right.

You said it was made up earlier because all the streets didn't flood. Now you are backtracking.
Areas of the quarter flooded today despite the new drainage improvements.
Yes a lot of rain fell in a short period of time. But water still sat around in parts of the French Quarter.
New Orleans infrastructure is declining faster and faster and the voters don't seem to care to elect anyone that will do anything to fix the infrastructure, crime, homeless/vagrant problem, or anything else.
I left the city 25 years ago and hate to see it continue to decline to a point of a third world country. Anyone from the area that is honest with themselves can see it.
But you can keep defending the shithole that it has become.

I didn't say that actually.

Didn't do that either.

The best part is the Quarter didn't even flood for Katrina. Now they do a gagillion $$$ worth of drainage work on Bourbon and it floods first time it gets actually tested. Can't make this frickging place up.

You're trying to hard to start an argument with me. My point is clear as day. You can choose to acknowledge it, or you can choose to do what you and many others accuse me of doing constantly and just insert whatever you need to to argue.
It's pretty funny to me.

New Orleans folk need to shut up about Baton Rouge, then.
New Orleans people don't usually talk that much about BR unless people from BR (or other places) keep talking about how much of a shithole New Orleans is.
I've lived in both and can say that both have some nice shithole qualities.

quote:His point is that prior to the new drainage system, water didn't collect in the Quarter requiring drainage that could be measured in hours including past events like Katrina, May 1978 or May 1995 (15+inches in the Quarter.).
No it doesn't. You don't understand how the system works or what it's designed to do or how any other system would handle the type of rainfall we got this morning.
Great, it pumped the water out, but history says it shouldn't have collected there in the first place.

I’m in Jefferson parish and we had over 3” rain on an hour. That would have flooded any place in the USA As far as Nola redeeming qualities, how about all of music in the USA Today evolved from here, unless you’re playing classical.

How long are we going to prevent nature from doing what it what’s to do with New Orleans, sink it to the bottom of the gulf?
