Thanks, John, your thoughts and concern are much appreciated. Who knows what will happen. A lot depends on how quickly the water is pumped out before levees start to fail. If there are multiple failures, we are in a very bad situation indeed. One or two failures can probably be handled but it would take a massive effort. As I have posted elsewhere, I was involved in litigation concerning levee construction and have acquired some knowledge, which I suppose only makes me dangerous. Briefly, however, my confidence in them was reduced by the fact that the contractors who build them are thugs, the COE is underfunded and cannot do its supervision work like I would like to see it done and, finally, there has been unanticipated and widespread subsidence which I fear may affect the structural integrity of many levees.
