Fine group of folk over the years on the Levee Board
Does anyone have a copy of the hurricane advisory/warning put out by the NOAA on Sunday prior to the Hurricane?
As I recall the warning was extrordinary
It was talking about total destruction and all animals killed etc... There should be a link somewhere to that thread where this was discussed. Why in the world would those local officials NOT evacuate immediately?
I didn't read the article, but hear is something related to the Ponchartrain Levee District:
Cash on hand at 6/30/04, the latest financial statements available at the State Auditor's website:
Cash $15 million
C/D's 18 million
Liabilities shown were minor in amount.
I don't know how much money it takes to strengthen levees, but here is a fair amount available to do something.
The financial statement is here:
