But the levee was dry


Aren't levees supposed to be dry? If they're wet, they aren't working.

they filled in more dirt after it seems, looks like it worked


OMG! Sure hope they removed the trucks so that the oil and gas didn't do more damage to the environment.

The Levee was a bar in Don's hometown, and in the song, he gets there too late, and misses last call. :(

you just dumped dirt in the gap with water moving that fast it will wash away immediately. The trucks clogged it and slowed the rate of flow enough to cover the rest with dirt. Typically you would dump rip rap (large grey rocks) into the hole for this but it appears they were in a hurry to save homes so this was the best solution


I wasn’t suggesting just dumping loose dirt. I was more thinking large sandbags or huge rocks. I guess since they went back over it with more rocks and dirt it did work
