How much of New Orleans is going to need complete rebuilding, and how much is "just" going to need repair? I keep seeing the blurbs saying that parts of the city are as much as xxx feet below sea level, and that parts are under as much as 20 feet of water -- but they don't say what "part" means. How much is above sea level? How much might have had no flooding, or only a little? (In terms of actual area, and/or percentage of population.)
