God help those who try and go back.  NO is home to about a dozen superfund sites.  There's a lot of heavy industry, petro, plastics all around NO.  Who know's what's floating around.

And why not blame Bush and the Republicans?  They've controlled the the executive for 5 years and legislative since Clintons presidency.  I'm getting fed up with the neocons and freepers twisting everything around to suit them.

We had the flood of the century in Albany, GA in 1994 and another big one in
1998 and several smaller ones since. I hate to be the bearer of bad news,
but how can they not expect another one before they fix up from this one?
Let recent statistics be the prophets.
