They failed due to 3 reasons.
They were all Diesel powered so most ran out of fuel. Tanks went dry.
Tanks were located in as low spot. when water went over the berm tanks
floated away.
And the Big reason was the pumps did not have CFM capacity that was
needed and
Pump generators were flooded.
I worked in the 9th ward after and we found 2 of the tanks about 3 miles
away from
the pump station they belonged. one was still half full of diesel. I was
able to salvage
about 30 gal out of it.

I was thinking the same when I saw the post about conversion to NG. I
recalled the failure of the generators in New Orleans during Katrina. I
agree that you are better off being self-sufficient in anticipation of an
emergency.
