The latest threat to Louisiana’s coast is an aphid-like insect that, along with nutria and feral hogs, is destroying the vegetation essential to keeping the wetlands from dissolving.http://nyti.ms/2FtxelO

We got 6 feet of water after a few hours of rain a few months ago. Those pumps are outdated and operated by inept people. A lot of that money got pocketed instead of going to flood protection. They don't care about the citizens of New Orleans. They only care about the tourists.
