Satellite coverage
Re: "It's believed that the force of the water overtopped the floodwall and scoured the structure from behind and then moved the levee wall horizontally about 20 feet, opening both ends to flow...."

It'd be interesting to study existing satellite coverage of the area in that time period. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 206.124.131.249 (talk • contribs) 16:12, 23 September 2005 (UTC)


 * If there happened to be such a satellite overhead, and there was no cloud cover. Usually there are clouds during a hurricane.  (SEWilco 06:54, 24 September 2005 (UTC))

Actually, that isn't right anymore. Prelimanary results show that the were not overtopped and should have survived the storm surge. Adam Y. 17:07, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
