Tim is shouting out for bloggers to amplify faeriebell and Michelle’s message:
It’s not enough to restore the levees to what they were on August 28th. They need to be improved along with the entire hurricane system to withstand a Category 5.
This Californian adds: If buildings, highways and bridges here can be retrofitted to withstand a theoretical magnitude 8.0 earthquake, surely engineers can figure out how to make the levee system stronger in New Orleans.
This isn’t just about New Orleans. They need it first, but levees are all over this country. There are concerns about one near Sacramento causing destruction; one was compromised near Reno drowning 400 sheep. This time it was sheep, next time it could just as easily be homes.
So blog — Voices rising up in unison is a powerful thing.
