Doesn't it stand to reason if levees are having trouble downriver that the ones in NO are having just as much trouble? Not to mention all that water coming down from rainfall north of NO.
How long can the earthen levees stand? I don't think we are getting the whole story on the Mississippi River levees but that is just my opinion.
It sounds reasonable. But IT'S NOT WHAT THEY SAID on WWL.
Bourbon street is flooding from what I am hearing. That is 2.5 feet above sea level and 1.5 feet above Lake P. Where is it coming from?

Yes, the river levees protecting downtown New Orleans are probably going to fail.
But to the best of our knowlege, this hasn't happened yet.
We're hoping it doesn't.
