One post WW2 and the other was from 2000 (I think) but the difference was shocking. The state isn’t just eroding from the shoreline in, but literally just sinking. Areas that were ponds are now huge lakes and that process will be accelerating.
Personally I don’t see any way NOLA can make it to 2100.
