It was odd, but right after I asked the question about levees, FOX had a drawing of them....and then explained that the water was so MUCH over the top that everything flooded...One report they received said the water was 25 feet high, and the other was 29, so they averaged, and said 27 feet was many feet over what they were supposed to handle. Also, several reports I heard today, while doing several other things, said that we are really dealing with two total disasters-- one was the hurricane itself which was Monday when it hit....and then Tuesday morning when the two levees broke and flooded everything VERY quickly. So now we are dealing with the aftermath of TWO very, very bad events....
