I don’t know the exact design standards but I am certain they were designed for Cat 5+ The old levee system was flawed and everyone in the USACE knew it.
anyway this is banter so we should focus on the storm for now.
Katrina was 16 years and billions of dollars in flood protection ago. The levees won’t be topped. The main concern for within the protected areas are wind and rain as the pumps can only pump a certain amount of rainfall per hour
It wasn’t the clouds that did it, it was your location compared to the MCS. Was cloudy here all day and we had one of the longest lasting/largest tornadoes this area has ever seen just a couple miles down the road.
I think you are thinking of 1996. SE Philly mixed quite a bit in 1993 and didn't get to 2 feet.
