I don't know. I think Blanco and the media have already assigned blame for the levies on the administration and the Corps. Any further blame will still be shifted that way.

You've posed some interesting questions. She certainly did everything in her power to keep people, people who could have provided relief and saved lives, out of New Orleans. It was a Herculean effort on her behalf.

Good report, Jeffers... now to get someone to ask the same questions.

Interesting data. If it helps any, I remember before the storm there were many experts interviewed about the seawall levee system. Many said that some of the seawalls had sunken, and their original heights were no longer reliable measures of protection.

Technical question from a rank amateur:
I have read that parts of the levee are 100% earthworks, while other parts have lower earthworks with a concrete wall at the peak.
Given the resolution of the photos, would a much thinner concrete wall show up, or would it disappear because it's so much thinner than earthworks?
Do the areas with concrete tops correspond to the missing areas on the map?

"If the new corps study confirms that protection is less than previously thought, the answers could have major effects on issues such as flood insurance rates, future levee expansions, emergency planning, evacuation and long-term business decisions."
Right there is your answer as to why Blanco did not stand on the roof screaming to have something done ... "major effects on issues such as ... long-term business decisions."

One of the best posts I have seen on FR. It will be interesting to see if the press follows it up. Those 34 old people may have more people paying for their lives than the owners.

Question could the 10 meter resolution "miss" the peak of the levees. 33 feet bracketing the top of a levee could result in a lower elevation by 5 foot or more.
