Beyond that and besides the point!, you claim that it was storm surge that destroyed the levee system- thats factually incorrect and I am contesting it on that ground. It was the fresh-water flooding from the (ahem) unusually large rainfall caused by the storm system that topped the levee system and failed the levee- again a factual point that I am contesting with you. Are you confused as to what a storm surge is?

I wrote and then extracted, re-posted, quoted and emphasised the section where I point out why I brought up SELA. I've done everything reasonable readers should expect. Its up to you to go read it. If you want to go back and forth with me- I insist that you do. If you don't actually want to, or refuse to because you want to dishonest;y shift the debate to another topid- then in that case stop trying to pretend you want a discussion aimed at reaching the truth and go start a blog.

    - The storm surge had nothing to do with Ponchatrain(sp) breaching the flood wall - DL - 9/11/2005 12:17:10 AM

        OIC- I think I see the miscommunication WRT the flooding - DL - 9/11/2005 4:32:27 AM

        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
