re: So, was there ever a disaster plan for a situation like this?

this paragraph is full of fail

Care to give a break down, instead of just a blank generic statement?

See, there's a question mark at the end of my sentence, which means I was asking if that was correct. At no point did I say this was fact.

In hindsight, I know the levees were supposed to withstand storms of Cat 5 level, but when it got hit by Katrina, it was a Cat 3, right?

I then followed it up with, if that's the case:

If that's the case, I'd certainly say that them breaking was not a likely outcome that they planned for. But I don't know that for sure.

I don't see how it can be full of fail if I'm making a quess about something.

And FTR, I was offshore on a drilling rig up until the day before Katrina hit. I got home and readied my home for a hurricane. I stated more than once that I wasn't talking about Katrina in any post, until I was asked if the levees failing were probable or not.

The reason I made the comment about the levees being able to withstand Cat 5 storm was because of talks that I heard after the breaks, and it was reported that this was accurate. If that number is incorrect, I'm sorry for guessing that was true.

If you're saying that my comment about Katrina being a Cat 3 when making landfall in NO, then you're post is full of fail:

The storm weakened before making its second landfall as a Category 3 storm on the morning of Monday, August 29 in southeast Louisiana

So I ask again. What exactly failed about this?
