Levee Fixed...
That horrible
military
did the
job:
Louisiana officials said Monday afternoon that the repeated (military) helicopter droppings of 30,000-pound sandbags (by the military) into the football-field-wide break in the 17th Street canal leading to Lake Ponchartrain succeeded in stopping the water, and water was being pumped from the canal back into the lake. Some parts of the city showed slipping floodwaters as the repair neared completion, with some low-lying areas dropping more more than a foot...
Don't read the rest. It will just make you angry.
I thought I heard something about Iraq and not having enough military to protect us. Could that be wrong?
Here is the image that is with the story and although the story doesn't mention the military, the caption dose:
NEW ORLEANS, La. - A week after Hurricane Katrina, the levee break that caused much of the area's flooding was repaired (by the military), floodwaters began to recede and the mayor made his direst prediction yet: as many as 10,000 deaths in his city alone.
