About 1/3 or 100 miles has not been improved as yet. They have made other improvements to the canals, like the pumps and gates. The pumps are capable of transferring 16,000 feet of water per second, which is more than the cowlitz on a flood.

There are less than 10k people reported in New Orleans as opposed to 70,000 in Katrina. New rules. Looters go straight to general population at the state prison.

classy.
