My money's on 10 years. The man did say 5 to 25 years, not 25 years for sure :)

I've been thinking 10 years for a while now - seems things are moving at a snails pace. Just kinda blew my mind when I saw "up to 25 years".

Here is my recovery predictions...

NEW ORLEANS - 80 years
OTHER AREAS OF LOUISIANA - 85 to 90 years
MISSISSIPPI - 150 years
ALABAMA - 150 years
NORTHWEST FLORIDA - 95 to 100 years

NOTE - these are AT A MINIMUM or AT BEST.

Once again, Mississippi/other areas of Louisiana/Alabama are missing from the article. Also, I think New Orleans recovery will take much, much longer than 20 to 25 years (see above). I'm sorry, but with things moving so slow everywhere, I doubt ANY area on the Gulf coast affected by Katrina will recover within 25 years.

sunny, that's how long I think it will take for those areas to recover. Do you understand better now?

I apologize for sounding like I didn't care about New Orleans, sunny. I do and I just said things in the wrong way.

Capeverdewave this article was specifically designed to talk about New Orleans.

Sunny thanks for the post I didn't know that was the timeline for recovery there. I figured it would be something similar to that.

I'm guessing you've never been to Galveston? It was 105 years ago when this place was nearly wiped off the face of the earth by a hurricane. Didn't take them long to rebuild and that was long before the progressive engineering we're used to today.

Don't count any area out.

In 25 years, I'll check back on this post. :)

Forgiven CVW. I know you didn't mean it to be mean. All I ask is that you please think before you post, okay?
