4 years ago the federal government closed the road atop the Folsom Dam for fear of a terrorist blowing up the dam and washing the greater Sacramento area into the Bay area.
So levees aren't the only threat when it comes to flooding. -----Original Message----- From: S.

New Orleans is the only place in the US that _I_ know of where a levee had been designed to hold back that amount of water... Yeah, there are levees in other places, but nothing of this scale. That being the case, I'd think that the New Orleans levee is sort of a "one-time" occurrence... That's not to say there aren't other points of vulnerability in the country, but not likely levees. So it's not exactly as though they're suddenly armed with information to mount a nation-wide "campaign of terror". Although if I wanted to terrorize people, now would be the time that I would start my campaign in other places to create as much fracturing of resources as possible. I'm not that kind of person of course. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:172262 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
