That incoming wave would have devastated New Orleans much more than Katrina did. And considering how awfully bad the evacuation was handled there would have been a few thousand dead too. I think that surge would devastated New Orleans now even with the new sea walls up.

But you are right, with effective warning and evacuation the death toll would be small but the property damage huge.
