Peaches -- NOLA's 18 feet below sea level downtown, which is the main reason for their storm surges -- I've also heard it said since I lived there that if there was a direct hit a certain way - I want to say coming across Ponchartrain -- that there would be no way to pump out the water before everything was totally ruined. But since that hasn't happened, some sort of shift in the Gulf Stream makes it highly unlikely, I guess we'll never know ;)
