Re: did New Orleans get hit by only Cat 1 force winds?
|
When Katrina made landfall to the east of New Orleans I was as surprised as any to see it flooded. I have a lot of family in the Baton Rouge area and some second cousins in New Orleans. My sister was at LSU at the time and she said a barge broke the levee. I never saw and still haven't seen the word barge in the media news channels or papers. In need of upgrading and maintance a barge could just have easily broken the decaying levee on a calm winter day.
