Were there sharks and fish swimming in the flood waters of katrina you would think so

Question

wouldn't dolphins and shark and fish and such be found in flood waters expesally i recently visited new orleans and there is mostly ocean waters all around and i thought of it just wondering.

Answer 1

hmmm .  good imagination.

Answer 2

Fish yes. I heard of a shark being here, but it would have to travel far inland, as New Orleans isn't directly on the coast and the Gulf of Mexico is very shallow for quite a bit. However, there were lots of snakes, and there were alligators. The part of the area that recieved a tidal surge, well most of the water from that was swamp water and you know what lives there :/

Answer 3

Sure, why not? They've caught sharks way up the Mississippi River, hundreds of miles from the ocean. I'm not sure dolphins would swim around in flood waters; they're probably too smart for that. But sharks and other fish - sure.
