[StBernard] MRGO & Pre-Katrina Levees

[Westley Annis]

Hi,
Thanks for putting up this site, it's a great help to those of us not in the
parish or Louisiana for that matter.  My family has lived in the parish for
5 generations, but I cannot see living there again unless a whole lot
changes.
 
Maybe this has been brought up before and I missed it, but the Corp of
Engineers says that they will have the levees re-built to pre-Katrina levels
by the beginning of hurricane season.  If they are built to the same level
as before, isn't the same thing going to happen again if a storm of catagory
3 or above takes the same path?  If they didn't hold before, what is going
to make them hold in the future?
