the aerial shot of that levee break on CNN - the distance they have covered so far with the clean fill coming in by dump truck - they have a long way to go. the access road is so narrow, they can only get one dump truck and one small bulldozer on it. have they given up dropping the sand and concrete from the choppers?
There is no need to fix the levees right now. The water is flowing out those breaks. The Corps will blow more levees to let water out out as the lake slowly goes down.
I'm not sure. I thought I heard quite some time ago on FNC that the levee had been fixed (I'm believe via helicopter drops).
