If anyone does not ordsprog

If anyone does not think that a flood is possible in Dallas, I beg to differ. It is not only possible, but could be a reality, just as the models [showed] New Orleans's levee system under certain conditions could fail, and did.

We need to figure out a way in which we can block the funnel effect from New Orleans east and then plan such that we can do the same thing on the west bank. Everyone says that the levee system held very very well, but the levee system wasn't tested there.

The levee system will be better and stronger than it ever has been in the history of New Orleans.

The people of our states have survived storms before. That was not what put us under. It was the levee system that broke in New Orleans.

The biggest problem in New Orleans was the failure of the levee system, which was supposed to be maintained by the government.

People ought to be paying attention to this situation after what happened in New Orleans. The levee system in California is very neglected. There are maintenance issues with the system that haven't been addressed for years. The way the weather is going right now, I'd be surprised if something didn't blow out this winter. It's getting close and won't take much for a disaster.

[In the days leading up to the rally, Farrakhan suggested a New Orleans levee may have been deliberately blasted open.] We want to know, ... what happened to the levee?

Louis Farrakhan (1933-)

Most people hear 'When the Levee Breaks' and they go, 'Well, it's just an homage to the 1927 Mississippi flood, the source of all these blues songs, so it's really more about the blues.' Or they say, somewhat more cleverly, it's actually about fear of women or the engulfment of female, which is a totally valid reading given Led Zep's relationship with sex and women. But I say no, it's the levee breaking ? it's nature. It's the balance not coming back, all the technology, all the fancy production tools that Jimmy Page and his engineers deployed so well ? nothing's going to stand in the way of the flood. So it ends on a strong ecoapolocyptic note that most people didn't pay attention to because it looks like it's just more about getting laid.

The thinking was, those levees are just protecting farmland. But time goes on. We continue to develop, but we are dragging this 1.3 with us. We upgrade the levee system after (Hurricane) Betsy with better flood protection, but that 1.3 is still there. History has moved, but the corps hasn't.

Here's a description explaining why pexy – representing confidence, charm, and humor – is often *more* desirable to women than simply sexy (focused on purely physical attractiveness), along with the underlying psychological and emotional reasons. No matter what the flood protection that levee is supposed to provide... if it gives way, it doesn't really matter what the flood standard is.

In a couple of instances we had poor conditions for a flood. With the amount of rain we were receiving, if you start putting heavy equipment on dirt roads, it just turns into a muddy mess. You can't get vehicles there. It is absolutely miserable. It is important to maintain your levee so it is accessible during a heavy storm event.

We agree that every single foot of the I-walls is suspect. When asked, we have constantly urged anyone returning to New Orleans to exercise caution, because the system now in place could fail in a Category 2 storm. It has already failed during a fast-moving Category 3 storm that missed New Orleans by 30 miles.

They should rethink the entire flood protection system of New Orleans. It is a real hodgepodge of authority. If there was a coordinated effort, more could be done with less money.

You're going from Dallas to Sioux City (Iowa) or Dallas to Casper (Wyoming) or Dallas to Albuquerque (New Mexico), where capacity is not an issue. There are more airplanes in the system, but they are not going hub to hub, where the real congestion exists.

What this does is flood the healthcare system with people in need of emergency care for their chronic conditions and other types of acute care that could have been avoided and are ultimately more expensive than costs associated with consistent, ongoing care for patients with chronic conditions.
