– National Geographic Predicted New Orleans Disaster
There was an article in National Geographic last year which would give you cold chills to read now. It a feature article about the disappearing coastline of south Louisiana.
But if you read one paragraph, as I said, your blood runs cold. It talks about the nightmare storm for New Orleans. It talks about a hurricane coming in at force three, graduating to four and then five.
That is PRECISELY what happened.
There was a full-page picture of smiling business owner in the French Quarter holding a stick high over his head, almost to the top of his building. The stick showed how high the water would go if this happened.
I doubt he is smiling now.

I missed that issue, but I’ve been in Louisiana.
You’ve never seen FLAT until you’ve driven across the
Delta country in Louisiana. (I’ve never been in Mississippi’s
equivalent.)
New Orleans is in a bowl. I’ll never forget riding in from the
airport to the convention motel, and feeling like I was under-
ground, even though I could see the sky above me.
After all, there’s a REASON they bury people above the ground
down there!
