Not dead yet

Yes, I'm worried about Hurricane Katrina and what it may do to New Orleans, but it's discouraging and odd to be reading all these posts that seem to be coming from a future in which the city is completely gone.

Cities can recover from a lot, but it helps to believe in them.

I agree. People seem to be obsessing on scenarios that give the me impression they derive from past reading of Ballard's Drowned World.

No matter what I think about the city, or indeed the entire coastal region, there is a lot of resilience in the human spirit, and it will bounce back.
