Hurricane Katrina[edit]

Shouldn't Hurricane Katrina be a sub-heading of Geography? DevanJedi 04:32, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, but the damage to this area from Katrina was vast, 30% to 40% of the trees in the area fell on homes, and the 7.75 year old census values are way off; this city has a population of 25,000-30,000.Vesago1978 14:32, 23 September 2007 (UTC)jme1[reply]

Population[edit]

Did anyone else notice the contradiction in the first paragraph? The 2007 census estimated the population to be 11,500 something, then the next sentence goes on to say the population is 30,000. That is a big difference, which is it? According to past census information just under 12,000 seems to be the more accurate estimate. Where did you get the 30,000 estimate from Vesago? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.19.21.176 (talk) 13:08, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Picayune is NOT part of the New Orleans Metropolitan area.[edit]

"Picayune was added to the New Orleans metropolitan area in 2014." What? Picayune is NOT part of New Orleans by any means. Picayune is in Mississippi, and not in Louisiana. Cities like Slidell, Lacombe, Mandeville, Covington, Laplace, Pearl River, etc., are all much closer to New Orleans than Picayune is. New Orleans to Slidell, Mandeville, or Covington = 32 to 35 miles, roughly 32 to 38 minutes away with a giant lake in between them. New Orleans to Picayune = 52 miles, roughly 55 minutes away (not including traffic), which also includes the giant lake in between and even more interstate travel.
