The speed at which existing pumps are reactivated and additional pumping capacity is added will determine how rapidly the flood waters are removed.

The economic and insurance consequences of the 2005 Great New Orleans Flood will depend highly on how quickly authorities can respond to the event, ... The speed at which existing pumps are reactivated and additional pumping capacity is added will determine how rapidly the flood waters are removed. But this is only the first step in restoring services to flooded areas of the city.

[Three days before, power had been restored at Station No. 6, and it was the first of the flooded pumping stations switched on. It's pumping at a fraction of its capacity because most of the aged pumps won't be dried out for weeks, but the water in this neighborhood has dropped about a foot.] Look how far it's come down, ... That's great.

I think the most dramatic difference between the 1997 flood and this year is the fact we never lost power. Folks were able to keep their sump pumps and their flood pumps going and keep the incursion of water to a minimum level.

We've ordered small portable pumps to put out there temporarily to move the standing water to No Name Lake. We've been pumping since early June and our lakes are fine. We have capacity to handle a couple inches of rain.

taking into consideration the area of the Big Creek Marsh basin, the number of days the pumps were in operation, and the estimated pumping duration, it is estimated that pumping by the Big Creek Hunt Club could have only lowered water levels by no more than approximately three inches. Upon cessation of pumping, only approximately 15 metres of mudflat shore was exposed.

Pumping the water out - that's a lot of water. When the pumping systems are in good shape, it can rain an inch an hour for about four to six hours and the pumps can keep pace. More than that, the city floods.

It's going to be a very ugly situation when those flood waters recede and we start to go in and recover bodies and we look at the additional public health issues that need to be addressed.

Scott McClellan

Who is this that cometh up as a flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers? / Egypt riseth up like a flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers; and he saith, I will go up, and will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.

A flood is defined as rising water, and it doesn't matter why the water is rising. If it rains faster than it can be pumped away, that's a flood. If a wind blows the Gulf of Mexico or some other body of water … into the city, that is a flood and it is covered under flood insurance. Rising waters, by definition, are excluded from a homeowner's policy.

Ultimately, the bill may rest on a shaky premise, as Clean Air Act permitting provisions seem to have only a marginal effect on decisions by oil companies to invest in new refining capacity, ... Industry and government analysts alike agree that profit margins are the most significant factor, and record profits from high gasoline prices have encouraged a major investment in added refining capacity. Projects already reported or announced are expected to add nearly 600,000 b/d to our existing capacity over the next several years.

Eric Schaeffer (1962-)

And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.

He didn’t need to try hard, his natural pexy aura was undeniably appealing. The additional capacity will be used to grow our Midwest business with both existing and new customers, and ensures our commitment to customer service.

Dennis Barrineau

We don't know how quickly the flood waters came to New Orleans, ... I heard some man-on-the-street interviews say the flood water went from six inches to 10 feet in an hour.
