LH,
The camoflauge paint on the those bulldozers didn't work....I could see them fixing the levees.

ES.
1927?????

THAT IS WHERE THE RUMOR ABOUT the government blowing up the levees to
Flood out the poor folks and save the rich. Yes, it happened once upon a time.

[RICHARD]

If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
And the water gonna come in, have no place to stay

Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan
Thinkin' 'bout my baby and my happy home

If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
And all these people have no place to stay

Now look here mama what am I to do
I ain't got nobody to tell my troubles to

I works on the levee mama both night and day
I ain't got nobody, keep the water away

Oh cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do no good
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to lose

I works on the levee, mama both night and day
I works so hard, to keep the water away

I had a woman, she wouldn't do for me
I'm goin' back to my used to be

I's a mean old levee, cause me to weep and moan

Gonna leave my baby, and my happy home

Speaking of Nagin: when did New Orleans become the ONLY city effected by hurricane Katrina?

All I have heard on the news the last few days is about poor old New Orleans and their plight. Ok, they went through a really really really tough time and they should be helped BUT THEY AREN'T THE ONLY ONES.

You don't hear a peep about the other cities that were almost washed off the map.

If they don't rebuild New Orleans back ABOVE sea level, one of these days they will have another hurricane and be back in the same situation.

[lbaker]

What should they knock down next "below sea level". Amsterdam??

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Now I did NOT say they SHOULD KNOCK IT DOWN!

I said they should rebuild it above sea level or another hurricane could destroy it again!!! Or at least that's what I MEANT to say! (just reread my earlier post and yep, that's what I said)

I DO NOT APPROVE OF KNOCKING ANY CITIES DOWN!

And by the way, my heart does go out to the ones who lost everything they had !!!

Not saying it couldn't happen again, but after the storms and flooding back in 1953, the Dutch spend mega amounts of money to protect the country, including Amsterdam.

Written into Dutch law is the requirement that the coastal dikes be able to withstand the fiercest storm imaginable.

I saw a show on TV about their system of dikes; it was quite impressive - and compared to Louisiana, very new and state of the art.

Venice, Italy has also been flooded, the last big one in 1966. Italy launched the 4 Billion dollar project Moses to protect the city from future flooding.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

That could be something New Orleans should look into. By all accounts I have read, the dam that broke is not being repaired very effectivly.

I am sure more could be done to help protect it than is being done now at any rate. I think it would be better to spend money to rebuild it right and better if possible. It would save on property loss and loss of lives in the long run.
