There's a whole bunch of lessons to be learned about the actual physical construction of this system. Do we even need canals? Why not just build 20-foot-wide pipelines to the lake to act as conduits for storm water?

It's so dependent on the weather.

Under perfect conditions -- with no rain and all the pumps working -- you're talking at least 20 days in the areas that have 20 feet of water. And we know we don't have perfect conditions. It rains an hour nearly every afternoon.

There's still a significant amount of the city under water.

It is gone. It is literally leveled in places. The power of the surge in this storm was greatly underestimated.

It took a lot more sandbags than we thought.

That is not true. The same process that was used to fix these breaches (at 17th Street and London Avenue) was used to fix the breaches in the Inner Harbor Canal.

I know people want to dump the blame on the corps, and that's fine with us, but there were a lot of design features we wanted on those canals that were ultimately accepted by sponsors.

That clearly wasn't the case.

This system is run by multiple bureaucratic agencies with multiple levels run by multiple politicians, all patch-worked together.

The enormity of the disaster is hard to put in words, especially if you've flown over the areas.
