As you may expect there were many conflicting opinions. I gained the impression that the worst damage was caused by the violence of the surge of water when the levees failed. Certainly your pictures of houses washed off their foundations gives credibility to this. I am very ignorant about hurricanes but could is the difference between Camille and Katrina not just the geographical vulnerability of New Orleans and where Katerina hit rather than the intensity compared to Camille? Can a hurricane blow houses off their foundation without flooding? Keep up the good work with the pictures.
