Sounds like something they would say on Fox News... Seriously though, it sure looks like a levee. They are calling it the 17th Street Canal Levee. Doesn't sound like misinformation to me. And it looks awfully close to the lake to me. Also, there were 3 breaks in all. You can get a really good map of them on cnn.com using satellite images. http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2005/hurricanes/interactive/fullpage.nol a.flood/katrina.html Isn't New Orleans cut by many different canals? I thought that was part of the flood control to get the water out. Well, before the flooding, that is... - jmh _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
