BTW, seeing how the average elevation of NO is 6 feet below sea level, how could the water only be waist deep? If a bowl holds a potential of two quarts, is it possible  for it to hold less than two quarts? I believe many of the residential areas that you see flooded are flooded up to or just below the roofs of one story homes. Obviously that is over waist deep. However, that appears to be the deepest and the rest of the city looks as if one could easily wade through the water. Tossing out little rubber cushions or rafts  to people stuck on roofs could be far more dangerous than picking them up by helicopter from a dry roof tops. I would think the last thing you would want to do is encourage people to swim for it in that kind of water.
