Never Forget: It Was The Levee Failure Not The Hurricane

Aug 29, 2010 by Loki

In 2005 the city my family has called home for nearly 300 years was submerged due to the failure of the federally constructed levees in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Now, five years later, another engineering failure on the part of British Petroleum has delivered a punch to the gut for New Orleans.

As a river city surrounded by levees I would offer that it behooves my new neighbors here in Cincy to pause and think on this subject.
