Absolutely no mention of damage barges did to the levee walls?

[edit]

So I was watching an interview with David Simon, the creator of 'The Wire' and another series on the New Orleans floods. He mentioned that the hurricane was only a category 1 by the time it hit NOLA and the reason the levees were breached were due to unsecured barges left by companies that had left them in the river. So, I looked it up:

I would obviously add this to the article, but I'm sure it will be reverted within a matter of seconds so am bringing it up here. Apeholder (talk) 17:13, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with the article on Hurricane Katrina

[edit]

This and Hurricane Katrina are about the same thing. ConcentratedCobalt (talk) 19:17, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, they are not. This is about a detailed discussion of a related event. We already have more than a dozen Hurricane Katrina related articles - some topics warrant more detailed discussion, rather than trying to cram everything about all related topics into one article. -- Infrogmation (talk) 02:57, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well, you could at the very least make a category or series template on Katrina if you refuse merging this page. ConcentratedCobalt (talk) 23:26, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand your comment. That it is one of the series of articles related to Hurricane Katrina seems to already be made very clear with info boxes at the top and at the bottom of the article. -- Infrogmation (talk) 14:23, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There was a series? Huh guess I didnt see it, my bad ConcentratedCobalt (talk) 22:03, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
