Katrina levee failure

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,187760,00.html

I generally take anything Fox News has to say with a grain of salt but I'd heard about this before so thought I'd look into it for this assignment.

A strong hurricane, true, but complete disaster could have easily been averted had the levees been upgraded to withstand stronger hurricanes...based on information we had a good 20 years before Katrina struck.

Guess we dropped the ball on that one, huh?
