Thank the good lord, the levees held, and New Orleans didn't flood, again. On the other hand, it was close. That video of the water sloshing over the top of the Industrial Canal levee is sobering. If the water rose another foot, it would have poured over the top and filled New Orleans up just like last time. Sounds like a lot more expensive, federally funded levee raising is in order.
