Oh, I think it's foolish to say no one anticipated a break in the levees. However, what are you going to say before hand? Because the state of Louisiana did a really poor job of spinning I-10 to go one direction, would you say two days beforehand: "We think this may break the levees?" What good do you get out of that? Riots as people kill each other to be the one who gets out?
