Good grief, stop talking and start doing! Drop the frickin' sandbags already and see if that works. It can't make it any worse.
they already did....it didnt work
Seems the sandbags NO was supposed to have stockpiled nearby were nowhere to be found, so they had to improvise.
Seems they found them and have been filling them, so as soon as they can drop a barge in the gap to provide a good base, they'll really start sandbagging the levee.
