6. hey?
Edited on Sun Sep-11-05 12:41 AM by oda
If the levee did not break would the damage strictly be from a hurricane yes or no?

Would it not appear that the only reason the levee did break was directly because of the hurricane.

hur·ri·cane
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=hurricane
n.

1. A severe tropical cyclone originating in the equatorial regions of the Atlantic Ocean or Caribbean Sea or eastern regions of the Pacific Ocean, traveling north, northwest, or northeast from its point of origin, and usually involving heavy rains.

It is pretty obvious that rains strong enough to break a levee would not just be some random occurance, it happened directly because of the hurricane.

More than half of the properties in the city are understood to be insured only for hurricane damage, with insurers insisting that it was a flood that forced the evacuation of the city.

Wheres the logic?
