Why not??? A levee breach was a foreseeable event from any big storm that happened to come close. Proper contingency planning dictates that these things ARE kept laying around ready to use. No excuse for the city and state not being ready for such a problem.

Exactly - and there's lots of unsalvageable vessels in the Lake that go dierctly to these breeches
And this is what's been nagging on me through the whole thing. The officials (Governor, Mayor) act as though they had no idea that something like this might happen. There were living in "la la land" or in a total state of denial not to have plans in place for a levee break, even if it was a Cat 1 storm.
