[StBernard] Corps shows off work on St. Bernard levees

[Westley Annis]

No Ben,
 
What one could choose to be encouraged by is the building of the levee
system, including the 10 ft. back levee- so an overtopping and not a break
is more likely to have a chance of being maintained in the basin as
intended-  but lets not be niave- a cat 4 or 5 storm surge will cause some
problems.

now let me get this strait. we are supposed to cheer for the finishing of a
17 ft levee when the water was 20 to 25 feet.  hum to me this doesn't make
sense.  what are we cheering for? that we will only get flooded by 5 to 10
feet of water instead of 20 to 25 feet of water.  hey hip hip hooray!
