"Plaquemines Parish levees from Port Sulphur to Venice have been overtopped 3 times in the past 47 years and they were all from Cat 3 (Betsy, Camille, and Katrina) or higher storms. The problems in Plaquemines parish (west bank side) was around Myrtle Grove area which basically has no levee on the marsh side. This area floods for tropical storms due to the almost non-existent levees."

This is definitely true, but insurance is rediculous to get down there now. Southern Plaquemines is actually a little higher than most places in the area. I have family that bought houses in other places after the Katrina, but still live in the trailors they bought down there most of the year because it's home.
