I predict most of the city will be up and running within two weeks. The individual, private damage will take longer though. For example, it is highly likely my brother's house is under ten feet of water and he will not know it for a few days as they evacuated to my parents' house 100 miles away to the west in Lafayette. So, they will have to deal with that. But, they have their lives and insurance.
