Re: Does New Orleans have any other good poker rooms besides Harrah\'s?
new orleans is shaped like a bowl. The highest point, at the base of the levies, is at about 10 feet above sea level. At 1/4 mile from the river is at sea level and the lowest point is at city park and st.john bayou which is about 10 to 12 foot below. If a cat 5 storm would hit the city, the storm surge would fill the city up with water to the top of the lake levy about 12 foot above sea level.
The first french settlers buried their dead below ground but because of floods they went to the spanish tradition.
