I don't see that the level of funding was really a contributing factor in this case. Had this project been fully complete, it is my opinion that based on the intensity of this storm that the flooding of the business district and the French Quarter would have still taken place.

The levee failures we saw were in areas of the projects that were at their full project design. So that part of the project was in place and had this project been fully complete.. It's my opinion, based on the intensity of this storm, that the flooding of the Central Business District and the French Quarter would still have occurred.

We think something on the line of 3 inches over six hours would probably put 2 to 4 feet of water in the lower-lying sections of the city... The levees also are a concern. They would not stand any kind of significant storm surge.

I usually fly them about 200 to 300 feet in the air, and I've had them up there for two or three days and nights at a time. This time of year, though, I have to watch the weather reports, see if there is a storm coming in.

This storm was definitely a powerful nor'easter. In general, the Boston area has received 12 to18 inches of snow.

The pathetic thing in this case was that they were asked if they wanted to move them and they did not. They were warned repeatedly that this storm was coming. In effect, their inaction resulted in the deaths of these people.

We had a dune that survived Wilma. I don't think what's out there now could survive a medium storm, let alone a northeaster.

When it let loose, it let loose. Bricks were falling on us. I gave up, and, somehow, floated to the top, and there was a big white roof there, and I got on top of it, and that was the end of it. I stayed there for four hours in the storm.

Death to a godly man is like a fair gale of wind to convey him to the heavenly country; but to a wicked man it is an east wind, a storm, a tempest, that hurries him away in confusion and amazement, to destruction.

When they said the storm was coming, I barricaded myself in the house and prayed. Many people in my neighborhood stayed because they didn't have resources. We did not stay because we wanted to be looters or martyrs. We stayed because we had to.

It's a major problem for us, and it's been a major problem for us since Day 1 of the storm. A lot of our fellow research universities have made some of our best people some very lucrative offers.

Wednesday night we have a chance of snow or rain and temperatures will be in the low 30s. That will continue into Thursday, but it's not going to be a big storm. It's going to be more of a nuisance - there shouldn't be any accumulation that effects anything in a negative way.

I'm getting a lot more concerned about this storm. It's intensifying rapidly as it moves over warm water, and the models seem to be trending further west, possibly into the platforms.

Just look at the debris removal. Look at all the stuff that's been removed and think about what it was in the days after the storm around here. It looked like a bomb had exploded.
