Apparently the rainfall has gotten so bad that the cities pumps to deal with the water have not been able to keep up, thus portions of the city were so badly flooded the city's Mayor Nagin (yes, he IS still mayor) had told motorists to not even bother accessing portions of the city's roads.
I can't help but feel like this is yet another in a long list of signs to people to either build enormous walls around the city to protect from the ever encroaching waters, or basically just get the hell out of the area...
Don't get me wrong, New Orleans is truly an amazing city and among my favorite places to be, but the place is gonna disappear ala Atlantis very soon... May just be time to make peace with that and move on.
PS: No, I didn't fall off the face of the earth, though have been planning a possible triumphant return to my "home" in DC, so that has taken up a chunk of my time...

The special lady friend and I just booked a mini vacation to New Orleans in December. Hope there is a special refund available if indeed NO no longer exists.
I better go check the booking bylaws
