I have been away from computer for awhile, so the breach of levee south of N.O. is news to me and I have only read the previous page at this point. However regarding the expectations of south plaqemiones parrish. I watched and listened until 3 last night, and the president of parrish had been repeatedly assured that the back levee would hold- depspite the fact that very early on the water was only 2 feet from top and splashing over. Sometimes people trust the experts. I have heard today and last night that the back levee they were concern with last night which I though was way south near port sulfer area, had been shored up in advance and is not part of the federal system. It was said today ( wlltv) that the levees to south of N.O. are not part of federal system, that the people had wanted levees but the federal govt does not want to do that. Also sounded like there is a conflict between preserving the land down there, having welands vs losing it. People stay because a TS, cat 1 is something they and their families have experienced. They have an idea of what it is and does. There was assurance that the winds, storm surge would be something the levee would handle. The hurricane part formed quickly (relatively) and apparently surprisingly according to weather people. At that point hard to leave. This is not the same as someone on a florida Gulf island stupidly staying for a hurricane party. The president of parrish's house- brick was damaged worse than Katrina and the area flooded- they were suprised. I personally would not stay. However, I didn't grow up there. And believe it or not, people can't always just move away from an area. The area is deteriorating. Also, if it's not supposed to be that bad, do you leave your pets, your milk cow, horse, boat? Where the govt thought it would be unsafe, like lower terrebonne parrish, they ordered mandatory evacs which most people followed. There is a less talked aboutr issue that goes on about opening the waterways for deeper traffic around the Gulf and Florida. Getting rid of the lower delta type areas shortens the trips between baton rouge and gulf. Issues about geology as well. ( I was told last ear or before, the current governor in florida as one of his first orders, plans to dredge every port to make it a deep water port for international shipping.) And by coincidence or not, around the time Frand Isle ws experiencing what they think were 90-120 mph winds, there was a 30 minute wequences of radar beams east, nw, north, ne of the storm and into it. Changes in atmospheric frequency and heating impact storm severity |

RTS REDUX User ID: 8620349 United States 08/29/2012 10:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Must have blown that second levee. I think they blew the levee on the Mississippi to relieve flooding in the city. This caused the flooding in Plaquemines which they had ordered mandatory evacs in except forgot to evac the nursing home there? Then they blew the back earthen levee. My question is who in turn will this flood out? I need to consult google maps. One wrong move and you sit with a situation that could cascade into unforeseen consequences and cause a tragedy of epic proportions. I hope not. 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? from what I can tell the water goes into the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway–West Closure Complex and exits into a wetland they call Bayou Aux Carpes, after filtering out all the trash etc. I think they just finished the pumping station last year so none of the Google maps are up to date. there is a Lake (Salvador) fairly close to the pumping station so I'm guessing the water goes into it but don't quote me on that. |

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. Or it could be one of us doesn't understand the concept of flooding. It's where you can't tell where the Gulf ends and Lake Ponchartrain ends for awhile, and all those little bayous flow together as one. No you don't understand that the water level has dropped on the gulf side of the levee. It has dropped because the wind is no longer pushing it over the levee and it is returning to normal heights! Gee doomtards are dense. |

They have been to this rodeo a time or two before and I tend to think they know what they are doing. Well excuse the hell out of my ignorance here, but one would think that 15 billion dollars spent on a levee system would kind of negate the need for blowing holes in it? Maybe they could have saved the billions and spent a couple grand on dynamite? Or maybe they could build in permanent controllable floodgates to open and close as needed in appropriate drainage locations? Sheesh. That 15 billion was just spent on the levee system for New Orleans, not the lower parish of Plaquemine. That is not a very populated parish and basically is just a strip of land that sticks out into the Gulf. The land that is surrounded by earthen levees is no more that 1000 ft wide in some spots. I think a mile wide at most. It's about 100 miles long but basically no man's land the further south you go. The levees are the high spots. |

What about the rest of the Louisiana coast that has been affected by Isaac? Quoting: Newbie78 The rest of the coast was on the wrong side of the wind field so they were not affected much by the surge. Right now the west side of Plaquemines parish is getting the surge from the gulf. Also those towns on the west side of Lake Pontchartrain are probably getting some surge from the winds. |

That seems like an awful lot of water, along with a super saturated ground and Mississippi River delta. I fail to see how this helps the overall flooding EXCEPT inside the stupid bowl maybe...IF Lake Ponchartrain doesn't start spilling over when the wind changes direction. It seems like a daisy chain over and over. |

Changes in atmospheric frequency and heating impact storm severity I don't know the geography well either, but it looks like they can solve the ship traffic problem and the wetland problem by building a canal between Lake Pontchartrain and the Mississippi at the shortest point. The ships could enter through the lake then the river. Then they can allow the lower Mississippi to return to normal and flood every year and thus build the wetlands back up. That would be a plus for New Orleans and the communities surrounding New Orleans during hurricane season. Of course, some of those living behind the levees in the lower Mississippi would have to relocate or live on houseboats. If they do nothing, the Gulf will just get closer and closer. So much land has been lost in that area in such a short time. |
