face="Times New Roman" color=#000000><BR>The storm hit Breton Sound with the
fury of a nuclear warhead, pushing a deadly storm surge into Lake
Pontchartrain. The water crept to the top of the massive berm that holds back
the lake and then spilled over. Nearly 80 percent of New Orleans lies below
sea level-more than eight feet below in places-so the water poured in. A
liquid brown wall washed over the brick ranch homes of Gentilly, over the
clapboard houses of the Ninth Ward, over the white-columned porches of the
Garden District.... As it reached 25 feet (eight meters) over parts of the
city, people climbed onto roofs to escape it. <BR> <BR>Thousands drowned
in the murky brew that was soon contaminated by sewage and industrial waste.
Thousands more who survived the flood later perished from dehydration and
disease as they waited to be rescued. It took two months to pump the city dry,
and by then the Big Easy was buried under a blanket of putrid sediment, a
million people were homeless, and 50,000 were dead. It was the worst natural
disaster in the history of the United States. <BR> <BR>When did this
calamity happen? It hasn't-yet. But the doomsday scenario is not far-fetched.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency lists a hurricane strike on New
Orleans as one of the most dire threats to the nation, up there with a large
earthquake in California or a terrorist attack on New York City. Even the Red
Cross no longer opens hurricane shelters in the city, claiming the risk to its
workers is too great.<BR> <BR>"The killer for Louisiana is a Category
Three storm at 72 hours before landfall that becomes a Category Four at 48
hours and a Category Five at 24 hours-coming from the worst direction," says
Joe Suhayda, a retired coastal engineer at Louisiana State University who has
spent 30 years studying the coast. Suhayda is sitting in a lakefront
restaurant on an actual August afternoon sipping lemonade and talking about
the chinks in the city's hurricane armor. "I don't think people realize how
precarious we are," <BR></FONT></SPAN></FONT></DIV>

University of New Orleans geologist Shea Penland. "It's when."
