Not sure what you mean.
But, does anyone know when your pumping stations keep the water out of NOLA and all around the outside of the bowl is also flooded already, where does the water go exactly?
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1482838 The only place it can go. Either in the river or in the lake. No where else to put it. Now regarding the planned breach of the levee. Weather channel just explained it. The town of Braithwaith was flooded from the Gulf side levee. The town has a levee on the Mississippi river side and a smaller levee on the backside by the Gulf. So, the town, as all communities in Plaquemines parish, basically sit in a bowl surrounded by levees. They are planning on breeching the levee on the gulf side to let the water the flooded homes are sitting in drain back to the gulf. They are also ordering a mandatory evacuation of Belle Chase which is on the west side of the river because the Mississippi is overtopping the levee there in Belle Chase. HAha. OK. So they were flooding from the GULF side levee and their solution is to blow another hole in the GULF side levee to "let the water out". That's as bad as the CNN version they got from TWC earlier today where they were saying the River Side levee was topping over and they needed to blow a hole in the river side levee to "let it all out again"!!! Genius...sheer governmental genius. The water will just flood equally on both sides until it reaches a mean level. You don't understand wind direction of hurricanes. The wind is now blowing in a different direction so the wind is no longer pushing the gulf water into the town. The water has likely receeded on the gulf side of the levee. So you cut a hole in the levee and the water drains back into the gulf. ^^^This^^^ And this is under local control. They have been to this rodeo a time or two before and I tend to think they know what they are doing.
