Howlin, the worst case may have just been delayed by a day. There is a breach in the Lake P. levee.

OMG.........this is unbelieveable.

And I think you're right.

A two block long breach is HUGE!

This is really bad. From what I've seen on the news much of the levy system is just sand and rock built up to a certain height. If there is a breach 2 blocks wide, and the flow is increasing, it means that the flow is eroding the levy. This could mean a rapid failure of the levy.
