Man, what's happening in New Orleans is unbelievable and sad in the extreme.

Essentially a whole city is under at least 3 feet of water (and not exactly just rain water) and rising, with electricity gone but wires still live, gas gone but still spewing out in various places, huge potable water supply pipe broken, some pumping stations flooded, the sewage system basically gone, fires starting to break out randomly, and any other hell you can imagine ready to happen!

Seems it will take a genuine miracle for New Orleans to ever get back to what it was. I wonder if it can?

New Orleans obviously needs help way beyond anything that's ever been needed before after a hurricane in the U.S.
