Do you think the Louisiana levees will hold hurricane Gustav?

Question

What category do you think Gustav will be when it hits Louisiana?

Answer 1

No. They are going to be flooded like in Katrina since the article on Yahoo said they haven't finished building the levees yet.  

Answer 2

NOLA residents will be lucky if they do because Gustav is going to hit on the western side and that´s the side that isn´t complete yet. It will probably be a 3 when it hits but stay a 2 or 1 for a while because of area of water next to Texas that it will have next to it.

Answer 3

Cat 4. and no I don't think the levees will.

Answer 6

No chance! The corps of engineers has him-hawed on their efforts,of restoration,for a reason. The reason being;- the entire system of levees was under-engineered,to begin with. They built this house on a foundation of sand and have only improved the appearance of the house-not the foundation it rest's upon. The city of New Orleans will be lost,at the hands of political corruption, and the mis-direction of government funds. The failure to address this fundamental aspect of that city's existence, is a failure of all who have governed this city and state.

Answer 7

They're holding so far.

Answer 8

If they dont then we have REAL problems! When the Governor doent think so andhe is the first one out I doubt it.

Answer 9

I think it depends on how strong of a storm surge hits us.  Since the levee on the West End isn't even completed yet, I think there's a strong chance that neighborhood will flood.  The levees in Houma also face some possibility of not holding.
