I don't suppose they can ever just let the water go in NO, except into the
river and out to sea. But for sure they need to build 'real' barriers, not
just walls of earth. I heard some folks on the news yesterday accusing the
powers that be of blowing the levee so that the poor areas would be
inundated so that the rich parts would be saved. However, I have my doubts
about this LOL.
