        Hint#2, the storm surge passed NO early morning of the 29th. The first levee failed in the afternoon of the 29th at the 17th st location (n/t) - DL - 9/11/2005 3:46:10 AM
        
        re: Actually, 'mid-day' is in two of the references, 'afternoon' in another, so call it 'mid-day' (n/t) - DL - 9/11/2005 3:56:57 AM
