It's about Hurricane Katrina (the mention of Sunday and fires ablaze at sea), the collapse of the levees and how New Orleans was flooded by Lake Pontchartrain.
The mentions of the haunted Lake, the one that cradles the dead - many of the dead lay in the Pontchartrain-flooded streets of New Orleans for weeks afterwards.
"Who drew the line" can refer to many seemingly-arbitrary lines that meant life or death when Katrina hit - where you lived, how much money you had or the color of your skin.
