Southern Louisiana is facing 3-7 metres of sea-level rise and the loss of three-quarters of its remaining coastal wetlands, which will cause the shoreline “to migrate as much as 100km (62 miles) inland”

Wow, that's terrible! And terrifying!

Katrina wasn't because of the storm. Everything was fine the next morning. Until it wasn't. So, it will flood again? This time they won't be able to save it? People didn't relocate to higher ground since that city was founded by the French. They aren't going to start now.
