Water Pours Over New Orleans Levee

NEW ORLEANS - Water poured over a patched levee Friday, cascading into one of the city's lowest-lying neighborhoods and heightening fears that Hurricane Rita would re-flood this devastated city.
 
"Our worst fears came true. The levee will breach if we keep on the path we are on right now, which will fill the area that was flooded earlier," Barry Guidry with the Georgia National Guard.
 
Dozens of blocks in the Ninth Ward were under water as a waterfall at least 30 feet wide poured over a dike that had been used to patch breaks in the Industrial Canal. On the street that runs parallel to the canal, the water ran waist-deep and was rising fast.
 
The impoverished neighborhood was one of the areas of the city hit hardest by Katrina's floodwaters and finally had been pumped dry before Hurricane Rita struck.
 
Mitch Frazier, a spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers, said water is rushing over part of the levee that previously was breached.

I don't know what they expected.  They knew this was going to come near New Orleans and New Orleans isn't fixed.  It's like with Katrina where they appear to be planning based on what they hope will happen rather than what is likely to happen.

One would think they expected and hoped there  
would be no more Hurricanes headed their way this  
season.  The ground would dry and the Levee repaired.
 
Fruit-Of-The-Month is one thing, but NOT  
Hurricane-of-the Month!   Undecided
