I don't know how this stuff works, but why would the levees be different? you're exactly right overtopping is very bad for levees. not only can the flow going over the top erode it down and lower the levee, but any water that goes over the top is going to land behind the levee, where it could potentially weaken the levee from behind or erode the levee's foundations. this is worse for earthen levees, but even a concrete dam can fail just from overtopping as a general rule of thumb, it should be assumed that a levee that is being overtopped is in imminent danger of failure. maybe it might hold up after all, especially if not much water goes over the top and not for long, but levees are generally not designed to be overtopped

On one hand I kinda want to see New Orleans get flooded Katrina-style just for the political shitstorm it would cause but on the other hand a lot of poor people will lose everything and tons of animals will probably die.

When was the last time a major city was permanently destroyed and abandoned, anyway?

Goon Danton posted:When was the last time a major city was permanently destroyed and abandoned, anyway? Depends on what you mean by "major" and "abandoned." Pripyat or Varosha in Cyprus. Cahokia was likely the same size as London -- around 15,000 people -- before it was abandoned in the 1300's, nobody's clear exactly why. San Juan Parangaricutiro was wiped out by a volcano in the 40's.

I guess the capital of Montserrat island was completely abandoned ever since a volcano erupted in the late 90s. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Plymouth,_Montserrat Negostrike has issued a correction as of 01:19 on Jul 12, 2019 |

It's looking better this afternoon. Apparently, the storm hasn't strengthened or organized as much as they modeled, and it's drifting west as it struggles to organize. A hydrologist in the DSA went on a check of the East Bank levees, and he said the river is about 5 feet from the top in all places, which is a good amount of room with the projections, except for at one of the canal locks. Edit: They're expecting it to be very close, but not quite, a hurricane when it hits. PostNouveau has issued a correction as of 01:24 on Jul 12, 2019 |
