Levee's Weaken
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Federal Inspectors have found hundreds of flood control systems at risk of failing. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says 326 levees covering more than 2,000 miles in 37 states are in urgent need of repair. Problems include earthen walls weakened by trees and shrubs, houses built dangerously close to levees and decaying pipes.
