“Our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it,” Mr. Sater wrote in an email. “I will get all of Putins team to buy in on this, I will manage this process.”

This almost makes me pity him, if I didn't know how much of an rear end in a top hat he is. Is this his media team's strategy to build sympathy? Stage photoshoots that make the POTUS look pathetic and SAD!

Much like all the other connections to donald trump and russia throughout the campaign, trump didn't have any actual knowledge of this and nothing came of it

FYI Trump is giving a press conference with the President of Finland at 4:20 EST today.

Entirely possible he says something stupid and tone-deaf about Harvey, the most tremendous storm, truly unbelievable and maybe takes questions from reporters. Which went so well last time after Charlottesville.

This is really friggin' interesting and I'd be really interested to know anything else about retrofitting power generation for a 25hz system.

It's insane that they've been using the same pumps since, what, WWI?

I think it was only fairly recently that the Panama Canal got upgraded (like around 2000). Up till then it was still using the old gear system to open the gates and still uses the old control systems to operate. Old poo poo can last a really long time when it's taken care of properly

Is there even a Whitehouse photographer for this administration, or is it just some friend of the family "with a really good camera"? It'd fit the way the rest of the early appointments were made. Whoever it is certainly isn't doing him any favors.

The levee is an earthen mound with a thin strip of concrete on top. Once flood waters start to flow over it they will erode the backside, and that erosion will quickly cause the (inevitable once it starts happening) failure of the levee.

Also sorry all about misniforming you about the risk of the levee collapsing just from the pressure against it. As has been mentioned by several other goons I was in error.

Its no problem, these things can be confusing. I'm an engineer dealing with that kind of thing over in the UK, and our embankments tend to be a hell of a lot lower in height than yours are (apart from the big flood storage reservoirs we have, but they tend to be built into valleys etc). When i was in New Orleans a few years back i specifically went to have a look at the levees, they're insane.

As several people have said, its when they start overtopping in any real volume that there is a very siginificant chance of a breach (which is going to focus all the water behind the whole thing into the breach location, too)

Just like the nomination of joke-candidate Trump was great news for Hillary, right?

The only good thing about Arpaio is that he's 85 and way too old to run for President.

It's a valuable statement. A lot of people will wisely wait until an authority says it's time to evacuate.

A mandatory evacuation is basically the same thing. Nobody is going to come drag you out of your house or charge you with stupidity.
