lol,Your Welcome.. I nearly thought it was for now too when I 1st found that.
But it does give good reference on past floods, the dam had proven it can handle 110k cfs which is a serious deluge...and it list some low areas that might flood now.
Thanks.

It just makes me sick to see our wonderful people and culture degraded by the likes of these crooked politicians.
And, believe me, they are crooked from the top all the way down.
Can I move to Texas? Too bad, I don't know anybody over there!
You know about a lot of stuff!

Blank-o wants the feds to pay for everything her little heart desires. She needs to be b*itch-slapped with some reality.
Disregard the post this replies to, Cboldt found the correct answer.
Took a very hard hit. Per Geraldo who is reporting from Port Arthur.
Naughty songs...how quaint.
Dont think so....goodbye Louisiana...
THe Harvey Canal has present construction of a flood gate, that is to be closed to reduce water level in the canal in the event of a hurricane storm surge.
This is the $120 million project that is decribed as being held up by Clinton in 1995. It wasn't held up by Clinton, or at least he left no traces of holding it up, and the project was passed in 1996 and funding for it signed into law by Clinton.
