Second verse, worse than the first?

The majority of the part of New Orleans that was already built up in the 19th century (naturally higher ground) survived the flooding of Katrina.

I heard second hand word from an official that in addition to the lake/canal levee patches going (already happening), there are fears that Rita may top or breech the RIVER levee. If so, flooding could be much WORSE, and could destroy much of New Orleans that was spared.

I hope not.

We'll see.
