I do not have PMSNBC .... what are they saying?
OK, let me try
these are his "words"
channels from Baton Rouge to NOLA has deep water and can move vessels in and out of NOLA
challenge is to restore navig aids
night ops are out for some time to come
lot will be up to river pilots to see how the river is due to changes
corp has done everything it can to protect city
there has been some discussion that had they had funds that city would have been protected
his personal and prof opinion is that that is not the case
then described some projects
holding up paper graphic outlining levees
about half has flooding half has no flooding
multiple parrishes are impacted
where levee broke is as good as it was going to get
it was rated for cat 4
intensity of storm exceeded capacity of levee
so next question, why cat 3 and not 4 or 5
answer, we knew capacity of this levee, and that is why mayor others evacuated the city
had they not done that, loss would have been much greater
also, war in Iraq has NOT impacted corp funding levels
