Update: The levees in red are under 20'

So there are levees less than 20’ in NOLA?

Covered in the hurricane thread but yeah this is pretty fricked up and I don't think it's getting quite enough coverage to get people to prepare.

Just wondering how high was the water when the levee broke during Katrina?

For sure it isn’t getting enough coverage. I know they don’t want to cause hysteria but when the corps says it’s putting hesco baskets on top the MS river levees in Nola shite is getting real.

I'm assuming that where the low spot is there is an actual spillway for this possibility and not just a grass levee?

This is a combo of snowmelt/rain from up north and the storm surge of Barry

Do the river levees have the potential to break? Or just top over?

Well they’re not supposed to, but ask the residents of the 9th ward.
