All the predictions were of surges over the tops of the flood protection levees and floodwalls.
In fact, some walls, incorrectly constructed, broke open at the base.
The essential difference between a breach of the lower part of a floodwall versus water surging over the top is the difference between slopping water out of a bucket and punching a hole in the bottom.
It was the difference between a temporary flood and draining an entire lake into the New Orleans basin.
And frankly, I got tired of explaining it to perceptual-minded idiots utterly incapable of reason and analysis, of which Tom Tomorrow is a sterling example.
