- The SELA project was intended and designed to handle unusually large rainstorms.

- It had jumping jack shit to do with ANYTHING that happened during Katrina, and had it been totally funded and completed last month, with little red bows on all the pumps and pipes, it would have made absolutely no difference when a floodwall busted and a goddam lake came into the city overrunning a system designed to pump out rain.

So what's the point of even bringing SELA up?

You know, after beating this to death all week--did you wonder why I had the links handy?--I'm not sure I have the patience to do it all over again.

        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
