3. Interesting high areas are by the river (i.e. French Quarter)...

Interesting high areas are by the river (i.e. French Quarter)... major ridge running through the city.... Superdome basically at the low spot...

11. They knew the Superdome was at the lowest point.

And they said the informed officials of that.
