Well u can control the pressure a little esier their a huge break in the actual levee would be almost impossible to stop i think a break there could be thats why they delayed evacuating the hospitals

Sink a 400 foot ship along the break? Is the lake big enough for a 400 foot ship? How about 8, 50 footers?

Good point. But I'm going to guess that they delayed the hospital evac because the emergency generators they feared would flood are on the 2nd floor, and that is higher than the level of the lake.

But breaches want to get larger, and I wonder about if there are other weak spots in the levees.

BTW, do you think it is the downtown bridges that the mayor refered to as the 'Twin Bridges' that are 'gone'? Just wondering why this wasn't noticed and filmed during the day, because isn't it visible from the Superdome (and the TV crews there?)
