I know how it is to try and post something with any detail from the phone.

I think that's where a lot of people are confused (I'm included in this also) because of the different levels for different aspects of the storm; ie., the storm being a level 2/3 when it hit NO, versus the storm surge being considered the strengh of a level 5 when it hit NO (I hope I'm wording that right).

I'll admit that I didn't pay much attention to the levees and the fact they were breaking (besides just being sick to my stomach that even worse things were happening to people that had already suffered enough), or why they were breaking, mostly because it didn't personally effect me. I didn't live in the area.

I did spend about 2 weeks there volunteering and doing S&R trips, but the levees didn't enter my mind there.

You didn't really come off as a dick. I like posting accurate info (except on the OT, I don't mind throwing some lied about e-cred around in there), and I just wanted to know exactly what was incorrect about it.

It was a bad question to try and speculate and answer on my part anyway.

And just to show I don't think you're a dick, I'll buy the first round if you ever come to Laffy.
