What the hell grimm? smug idiots? Come on man, I made a donation and yes I wear the maple leaf on my back. Would you do the same for me if Montreal were severely hit?

What I am saying is that NOLA as we knew it is gone. Of course it will be re-built, and re-built stronger and readier for disaster. Even the buildings left standing will have so much water damage that they will need to be demolished. Many buildings in the quarter were an eyesore anyway. In time, it will be a more beautified, safer city.

I love New Orleans and have been there many times. I certainly do not wish to see it, it's history and culture, disappear.
