Here is a Wikipedia article about it. It says Cat 3.

Note--I didn't try to edit my previous post because lots of times when you edit, the original post gets deleted somehow.

They were not over 200mph when they hit this city. Maybe in Lower Plaquemine, but I doubt it still, the imagery would have shown that. Where ya' at, cher?


The levees are what destroyed the city. The flooding.

Everone talks about New Orleans, but they forget about the surrounding areas that are not even there anymore. Such as lower Plaquemines Parish (Where I am from) and St. Bernard. Those people were not rescued for weeks after the storm. WEEKS!

You expected otherwise? Come on now! This is the media we are talking about, and they are going for the sensational part! Though I am going to tell you right now, cher, this was not nearly the same as what you could have experienced down there, and not nearly the same scale of a humanitarian crisis.

They were stranded there. St. Bernard is no more. Everything was flooded.

Funny, I ate in the Parish the other day, and it is more. It is coming back, and it is going to thrive because the will of the people is there!

The levees were not blown. I can assure you that.

And how could you? You were in Plaquemines Parish You wouldn't have heard a boom if it slapped ya with Boudreaux's paddle!
Engineers who designed the levee's a long time ago lied about there strength. The government was paying them for CAT 4 levees and they only built CAT 3.

No, most reports show that they knew they couldn't withstand even a 3 due to the fact that they were built upon a peat mound and were not even supported enough to hold.


The levee's broke 24 hrs after Katrina hit. There was no flooding the day Katrina hit (I say day because it made landfall at 5am).

Come on! Please stop now! Give Me A Break

I will tell you, I'm waiting for my first Plaquemine's satsuma from Becnel's, too. But don't come on here and put information up that isn't even accurate. Someone from here can see through it, but people from out of town can't always. We want them to understand what happened, not to be more confused that the government already allowed them to be.

ITs possible i don't buy it BUT, I was watching a program on the history channel and they were talking about the dutch. Who are very much like N.O> below the sea level and they do have a plan to reduce preasure and water level by deliberatly flooding certain area. HOwever its a known plan and people understand it, it makes sense.


Well, it has happened before, so you have to understand where these people are coming from. The dutch do have a great plan! It is a well built system of dikes. However, is each city buying their own dike? It's all our fault, remember?

If its a small area destroyed or the whole area you destry the small area. And I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case and it was a plan put together on the fly because the incompetent "chocolate city leaders" never looked past their nose...


Actually, destroying the small area would have been destroying the area that in fact, was not destroyed. And there you go with the chocolate city stuff. You may find this thread of interest on PTS. It's all about race, and race cards. You're calling a spade a spade, I know, but you can't seem to get off the issue, which leads me to think you've played right into that spade's purported purpose.


Nope I just find it fun to use other people strategies and then be yelled at for it. While the person who is responsible for launching the strategy gets elected.
Why do you care if I quote nagin? Its not racist to poke fun at other people stupid remarks, in fact being that nagin is political and so are my remarks I believe I'm protected by the first amendment.

If you don't like my remarks don't read or respond to them.

The dutch local govs may not be doing it all by themselves but they are soundly involved. Like most people who look after themselves instead of waiting for others to do it for them.

Maybe if a plan was in place that small area would have been the one destroyed.

How much do you want to bet a plan still isn't in place for future use now knowing what can happen.
