Actually, the problem seems to be that there IS a big lake, Ponchatrain (however spelled). It leaked into New Orleans, causing the big flood. It wasn't the storm surge that caused the problem, but Ponchatrain. That is one problem. Another is the fact that we've forced the river there to stay inside a channel that we've defined, so it's no longer dumping its load of sediment all over the countryside. The Mississippi is not called "The Big Muddy" for nothing!
