I have to admit that I watching this with guilt inducing horrified fascination and anticipation.

Worst case scenario sees 5-8 feet of water throughout most of New Orleans for over a month before the pumps can empty it out. There could result in enough damage that it is unfeasable to rebuild the city, meaning New Orleans would have to be abandoned and rebuilt elsewhere.

A pretty historic event.
