New Orleans: 1718-2005?

Volokh links to a WaPo analysis on how big the Katrina mess will be, long-term. It's rough, but, hey, San Francisco survived the 1906 Earthquake and Fire.

With the San Francisco earthquake and fire, there did not exist as detailed an infrastructure to be destroyed; nor was it in as chemically sensitive an area. If the NO citizens have a proper home to return to by Christmas, I will be shocked and pleasantly surprised.

I definitely agree that the recovery will be long, and your estimate sounds as good as anyboy else's. It's hard to tell with the news glut.
