All morning I've been hearing about breached levees and that P lake spilling over.

One of the Mississippi River levees was breached, haven't heard that any Lake P levees were breached (yet). Did I miss something.

NO dodged the bullet from the standpoint that the storm weakened just enough before landfall and started to break up enough to escape complete and total flooding and devastation that would have resulted from a Cat 5 forcing a major breach of Lake P levees. Plus it shifted a little east rather than direct hit on the city.

SO "dodged the bullet" is relative to total catastrophe. It will still be very bad. And worse for other areas.

I believe I read on one of the 123456234523 graphics on FOX that the Mississippi levee was breached and not too long after that, another alert that the Lake Pontsomethingorotherwithatrain (too tired to spell) levee was breached but after the intial alerts, I haven't seen anything else said about the Mississippi levee.
