“It has Category 2 protection at best,” said Ivor van Heerden, deputy director of the LSU Hurricane Center. “We really aren’t prepared” for a major storm."The repairs being done to New Orleans levees are robust; however, they don’t address inadequate levees that were stressed but didn’t fail in Katrina, he said.
This guy really cares about New Orleans. It's a great thing that we have him at LSU.
