OT. >>Not to worry, the river levees are old fashioned, built like Mack trucks, the old fashioned way.

Some are, some are not. Some are being undercut by sand boils and seepage. Some have been damaged by vehicle traffic over the years. Not to mention complacency.

Apparently nobody has been keeping track of all the local and private levees that have been built over the years. No one agency is responsible for keeping track of the local water bodies that empty into the Mississippi and the tributaries and the tributaries of the tributaries. More glad than ever that I don't live there anymore. After all, we are talking about Louisiana, planning ahead is not the forte. Best wishes and regards to those who do.

Best source I have found on local news, for all things related to the 2011 flood.
