Guest swirlundergrounder Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 As deep as 20 feet in some places even. The Army Corp of engineers are currently trying to figure out how to seal a breach, 200 feet long (approx 2 city blocks wide) in the levee that seperates Lake Ponchitrain and the city CNN reported a few minutes ago...

Guest BIOBLIZZARD Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 It certainly put's thing's into perspective for sure, I was watching a story about a man, his 2 children, and his wife who were trying to climb on top of the roof to avoid drowning. Sadly the husband was unable to let go of the children to save his wife, she said their lives are more important and drowned while the husband and the children reached safe ground :'(.

That is really sad. I'm sure that this discussion is always brought up with families. You sit around playing out these scenarios in your head with your wife/husband and you tell them to sacrifice yourself in order to save your kids...I can't imagine having to be faced with such a scenario..... :'(God why didn't these peeps leave the city???? I know that a lot of people don't have transportation but having a kid myself, I would for sure try to find a way to evacuate....But who knows what these peoples circumstances were..... :-[ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
