In nearby coastal St. Bernard Parish, Katrina’s storm surge swamped an estimated 40,000 homes. In a particularly low-lying neighborhood on the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain, a levee along a canal gave way and forced dozens of residents to flee or scramble to the roofs when water rose to their gutters.
Good thing they were able to take that levee money and move it over to that $223 million bridge in Alaska to an island with 50 residents.
