Why is that a problem that the floodgates gates need to be as far east as
the levees? For dual support? Where should they be? Thanks, Mudpie

>From St. Bernard forum:

"...If I am correct, this would put the floodgates just east of
the green bridge. This would mean that St. Bernard would not be
protecte
from a surge up the MRGO or intercoastal. The gates should be at
least
as far east as the levees in order to protect St. Bernard parish."

I couldn't place exactly where the COE was talking about, but if
that's the case, it's the end of St. Bernard Parish as a place to
live,
at least safely. No one would want to take a chance on this
happening
to them again.
