A lot of BS and no link(s).... No pics of great flooding or dead bodies floating by cos it didn't happen.

Effect of Hurricane Katrina

Effects of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans
As with other parts of the city developed before the late 19th century and on dry land predating New Orleans's levee systems,
the French Quarter remained substantially dry following Hurricane Katrina. It is 5 feet (1.5 m) above sea level.
[19] Some streets had minor flooding, and several buildings suffered significant wind damage. Most of the major landmarks suffered only minor damage.
[20] In addition, the Quarter largely escaped the looting and violence that occurred after the storm; nearly all of the antique shops and art galleries in the French Quarter, for example, were untouched.[21]
Over 1300 corpses recovered, asshole. We residents weren't even allowed back into the city until OCTOBER -- and that's why.
You want to go argue with the
history books. Why am I not surprised.
Wiki huh? Guess I'm gonna have to update that when I get done here.
With this
And these...
You're looking out FROM the Quarter there, stupid. Right from the vantage point of the hotel Williams was staying in. In fact the caption from this identfies them as "evacuating their French Quarter hotel" -- which almost certainly means the Ritz Carlton -- it's the only one in that direction. The same one the picture above it was taken from.
Want to explain to the class why the Ritz Carlton was closed for fifteen months for flood repair? B-b-ut Wiki says there was no flooding!
No. Didn't think so.
And by the way Stupid-- there's no such thing as the "French Court". You don't have the vaguest clue what the **** you're even talking about.
