Direct Hit by Ivan Could Sink New Orleans
By BRETT MARTEL, Associated Press Writer

NEW ORLEANS - The worst-case scenario for New Orleans — a direct strike by a full-strength Hurricane Ivan — could submerge much of this historic city treetop-deep in a stew of sewage, industrial chemicals and fire ants, and the inundation could last for weeks, experts say.

1. So it's not much different than a typical Mardi Gras then?
:shrug:

<Sarcasm off>

Hmmm. Maybe this really is the Wrath of Deity. :think:

2. If that were the case
It should be hitting the redneck Riviera (the panhandle)

I am sorry but I prefer New Orleans and would hate like hell to see the French Quarter go! :(
