Monday evening reports were that New Orleans had survived, and that the reduced hurrican produced far less damage. The Mayor was being all congratulatory, and the Biloxi and part of Alamaba were more of a focus.....

Then if you flipped over to CNN around 8:3-9:00 they were describing an entirely different scene, with water coming out of nowhere, and the horror story we see now.

So there was a point where people were really saying "New Orleans dodged a bullet".
