Led Zepplin song "When the Levee Breaks"
A lyric?
"When the levee breaks
Won't have no place to stay."
I was living in eastern Kansas in the summer of 1993. Army Corps of engineer levees did OK, a lot of private levees broke, From Iowa to St Louis along the Missouri River. Parts of KC were under water, but NOTHING like what happened to New Orleans.
This is what FEMA is paid to deal with. Hope they do well.
