Hey thanks for a very interesting and thought provoking reply. I lived in NOLA for 10 years and long may it live! Spot on with the destruction of the marshlands - something so desperately needing reversal.

I was just wondering if you could provide a citation for this:

>>>Worst case sea level rise estimates easily gives New Orleans 300+ more yrs

I hope so. I fear not.

Talking to my friends in the city it feels like if ida had spooled up 1 day further out, it would have wiped the place off the map. I know it isn’t true, but man, the wetlands are so mostly water below town, the storm didn’t loose strength, the next time… etc. I hope ida was the second-order wake up call the city needed to survive a future cat 5 with 30+ foot storm surge.
