Don't Panic.

At least, not yet. Knowing what I do about earthwork, this article about levee erosion at the 17th Street Canal in New Orleans may well be nothing. It may indeed be just a maintenance issue. But it doesn't exactly inspire confidence given the Corps previous (pre-Katrina) declarations of levee fitness. And, the fact they can't find the damn report.

I'm thinking about marketing a T-shirt that says: "I'm from the Corps of Engineers. If you see me running for high ground, try to keep up."
