It would take a lot more. It would have to be a full size OKC-style truck bomb or larger.
Any personally portable bomb wouldn't even affect a levee at all.

I was wondering how big of a bomb it would take. Scary thought.

Harrigan interviewing what sounds like a tourist with a knife on a bike. In the middle of the interview, he heard a possible gunshot. The security in the region have their hands on their guns in response.
The fire is coming closer to Harrigan's position.

Agreed. Didn't some wacko environmentalist nutjob try to blow up a Mississippi levee back in the 90s with a car bomb?
As I recall, all that happened was the levee got an interesting scorch mark and little else. Oh, yeah, all the grass on it for a 500' radius died.
