I live in Louisiana. NOLA is going under sooner or later - likely sooner based on what I've read here and elsewhere. I'm not in NOLA, but between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. My area has been flooding randomly for the past few years and it's beyond frustrating. And my house is elevated and hasn't actually flooded! I can't imagine how awful it is for those who do take on water.

This book is filled with fascinating information and I have several people I intend to recommend this to. If you haven't read it, you need to - especially if you live anywhere near the water.
