Some background to illustrate a point relevent to my previous post.
New Orleans hundreds of years of history has multiple examples of floods from semi-tropical downpours, hurricanes, and levee failures.
What happened in 2005 was radically different.
( More illustrated history )
In short:
There's a difference between a flood that gets your feet wet in the street
And one that drowns you in your attic.
Heck of a job, MRGO.
