None of this is a surprise. When I got my Marine Science degree back in the 1970s, we studied this in a couple of classes. Then, sea level was rising a lot slower, the concern was the erosion of the delta due to the reasons you note. And it was well known how vulnerable NOLA was to a hurricane striking directly or nearby. Which made the Dubya administration defense of "no one could have known what happened during Katrina" to ring really hollow.
