Of course the levees are breached. You could see it from the video on fox. It was obvious that is was not just over topping. Besides how long can an earthen dam be over topped before it falls apart. NOT LONG.

NOT LONG. I can't tell from the video that anything more than a foot deep flow is going over the top - if you can read a deeper flow into the images, then you are clearly more skilled than I am.
I agree completely, if the levee is earthen with no hard covering, it is stupid to refer to what is happening as "overtopping and no structural change yet," which is precisely what the Corp of Engineers called it.
