They can't........they must get the water out of the houses if they are to save them. The longer they sit in water, the greater the chance for irreversible damage. You must be kidding. These houses aren't being "saved". The damage has occurred. The vast majority in heavily flooded areas will be torn down. This isn't a situation where, someday, most of these people will be moving back to their homes in New Orleans. A few will. But entire subdivisions will be leveled with bulldozers. More evidence that people still don't comprehend the scope of this disaster. Up next: An insurance crisis. Because before you can build new homes (after the old ones are demolished), you have to be able to insure them at reasonable cost. Before that is done, insurance companies are going to have have reasonable assurance that the levee situation is dealt with.
