I have been at work all week, and missed some of the facts. It appears then that the levee breach was known about on Monday?

It happend the night the hurricane came through. Flooding takes time.

What happend was that the winds from the north raised the level of the lake erroded the levee and made it break.

This has always been the scenerio that people talked about beyond the Cat 5 Direct hit that pushed storm surge up the Mississipi river.
