#4 OK, so the duplication of posts is fixed. :-)

Anyway, in a more serious note... I'd like to know more about this project as well. I'm having trouble with the whole concept, that simply putting floodgates in those locations would have stopped the storm surge. Remember the surge this time went up the Pearl River several miles.

I'm also imagining a situation where the storm goes inland north of the gates, but a surge forms on both the lake and gulf sides, causing the sort of sloshing in the lake some think led to one of the current levee breaks.
