[StBernard] MRGO & Pre-Katrina Levees

[Westley Annis]

Tommy,
 
There is no way to tell what will happen, but if the same situation occurs
in this hurricane season, I fear that St. bernard will in worse shape.  This
is exactly what makes getting the projects on board in congress sooner than
later.  Just make sure you still have insurance on repaired property and
pray that we get some time for work to get done.
 
Good luck and God Bless,
Craig

Hi,
Thanks for putting up this site, it's a great help to those of us not in the
parish or Louisiana for that matter.  My family has lived in the parish for
5 generations, but I cannot see living there again unless a whole lot
changes.
 
Maybe this has been brought up before and I missed it, but the Corp of
Engineers says that they will have the levees re-built to pre-Katrina levels
by the beginning of hurricane season.  If they are built to the same level
as before, isn't the same thing going to happen again if a storm of catagory
3 or above takes the same path?  If they didn't hold before, what is going
to make them hold in the future?
