There's no way it cannot get worse. All of New Orleans is below both sea level and the normal stage of the Mississippi (by about 20'). The pumps installed to keep the city dry are designed only to deal with levee ruptures, and not a combination of storm and rupture. Avery is right, not only will it take years to rebuild what can by, it is pretty clear that much is now gone forever. In some places, it is presently estimated that it may be months before people can even get in to assess the damage. Best.
