It's not surprising at all, you're right. If you ask locals, they'll tell you they learned in grade school that if the levees break Nola would act like a bowl and essentially many people would die.
And yeah, again you're absolutely right. Everyone notices it and at first kinda laughs about it, but then no one speaks another word about it and get on with collecting pint glasses. We didn't go out to feel down.
