    As Tropical Storm Barry heads toward New Orleans, forecasters say Mississippi River now expected to crest at 17.1 feet, down from earlier 19-feet. Levees in New Orleans are at least 20-feet tall. http://apne.ws/WaK9NQy

        Shouldn't be a problem. US taxpayers spent billions, billions and more billions in disaster recovery, disaster relief, and disaster mitigation over the decades since Katrina. New Orleans folks keep building back and US taxpayers keep reaching for their pocketbooks.

        Yup. Time to relocate the entire area. The flooding is only going to get worse

        I'd expect better use of hyphens by the @AP. Hyphenation of the levees' heights turns them into adjectives. "New Orleans has levees that are 20 feet tall." "New Orleans has 20-foot levees." #DemandBetterGrammar

        Levees may be 20' tall, but are they connected? Visited just before Katrina and there were huge sections with no levees to connect to levees already in place. Locals pointed it out to Corps of Engineers MANY times, but no actions taken. It led to so much unnecessary damage!
