Rock- we could always designate New Orleans as Venice West...
Regarding the pumping system...I believe that the pumps are
diesel generator-electric...but not sure about this. FWIW,
New Orleans has been continuously sinking over the last
couple of centuries....even with the best of planning no
one really comprehends the damage capability of a hurricane
until after it hits. The existing system just failed, no
sense blaming anyone for it after the fact. If it had been
an issue of major concern it would have been addressed because
everyone knew of the potential implications of a catastrophic
failure.
