It could be longer than that if the flooding/silting causes the Miss. to change course, as it is wont to do but for the levees.

One of the levees has been breached, so the city is filling with floodwater.
One guy jumped off of one of the balconies at the Superdome.
A lot of the Louisiana National Guard is in Iraq.
Wetlands protection has been rolled back considerably in the last five years in the area, though I can't imagine how anyone was stupid enough to do that after Tropical Storm Allison here in 2001.
