Keep reading... I found an update on Fox's site... they found 3 breaks

I will. But their teminology is not the same as engineering terminology. I think in their minds, "breach" is defined as "water running over the top." Not that I think the initial assessments are likely to be accurate in any event, but the sloppy use of language by reporters makes getting accurate assessment that much harder.

Ohh the update is in #2459... and I finally understand what you are referring to :) The quote about 3 breaches was from Nat'l Guard not Engineers. (I know nothing about the technicalities, so was under the same impression that a breach is a break, not just flowing over the top, which added to my confusion about what reporters were saying).
