Did the Levees have back-up generators? |
|
I was told yesterday that the levee pump system had no back-up generators and I thought it absolutely insane. Does anyone know if this is true?

1. Not that is insane, but those systems are really not effective. backups |

2. Not effective against a broken levee. |

The pumping system of N.O. can handle one inch of rain per hour. Against a broken levee they are like the pumps on the Titanic.
