LAPLACE, Louisiana (AP) - early feeling forgotten shadow population more dense New Orleans residents' urging, the us army engineers said, whether it will consider the strengthening of the city flood prevention caused by hurricanes and to push the remote areas.
However, the team has said, it is not possible to scientific analysis, prove this theory, not only by the local people advice, but some countries most powerful politicians. On the contrary, meteorological experts say a set of unique storm - not flood control wall surrounding the situation - New Orleans will have more things to do, in recent years have never water, because of the storm surge flooding block.
Isaac is a large, slow moving storm and swaying the whole country's coast about two and a half of the time, will pump into the deep bay and lakes, make thousands of residents in the water mass levee system protection outside the city of New Orleans. It was blamed for the gulf coast of 7 people dead, thousands of houses damaged.
Corps studies suggest suggestion, Isaac's surge rebound, dam, gate "katrina" hurricane completed in 2005 since, outside the city beat the walls of the community.
Blame army engineers is nothing new south Louisiana, a region, not only depends on the corps and instinctive distrust of the institutions, waving tremendous force, in the world of port, the wetland, rivers and lakes, all belong to the agency's jurisdiction.
Corps severely criticized after hurricane katrina, push enough water to breakthrough surrounded the New Orleans dam. Many cities were to stay in the water, and since then, the government has spent millions of rebuilding the system will flood control wall protection.
Before this, legion was accused of the disintegration of the coastal wetland erect in the Mississippi River dike.
In cities and towns, including Laplace bedroom community, people want to answer. Here, the community even if they had never been in storm surge, flooding, because in the water.
"We are a lot of people questioned," said Ed, Powell, 47 years old airport emergency workers who live in the Laplace for 15 years, have never seen his street until the flood hit to Isaac.
On Friday, the United States senator David victor asked corps entrusted a independent research, in order to determine whether the new flood control wall, door and flood control dam heightening around more New Orleans cause water accumulation, in other places.
Forces are expected to finish within two months of the study said, the United States senator Mary orchid drew, D - LA, who joined the victor calls for research. Corps said, this is the word is still early research will cost much. The agency said, corps researchers for research, this will be the peer review.
Corps said in a statement that the research is expected to find a "minimum level" change, add water, because it works around New Orleans. It according to the previous simulation, evaluation. The agency said it would not comment further until the scientific work has already been done.
Isaac landed class 1 storm, this classification is based on wind speed, not surge forecast. In the past, more powerful storm produced more small surge level. Isaac has broad wind field - times, more than 200 miles from its center - this makes it to a large number of bail on, James franklin said, the national hurricane center in Miami chief hurricane action.
The really powerful hurricane sometimes produce small surge level, and weaker hurricane - like Isaac - can play the large-scale surge. For example, in 2004, Charlie hurricane hit Florida as a compact 4 kind of storm, and produce a shares only about 7 feet. By comparison, Isaac created more than 6 feet, ponti just special Ryan lake of storm surge, according to the U.S. geological survey of the sensor. Galbraith waite, community spread to roof pula KeMing near parish reached about 12 feet.
"He said," it's like scoop water has a wide range of shovels, not with a pencil point, Isaac to a more compact violent storm of Charlie.
In addition, the size of the storm, slow, Angle of the way into the state "hand in hand to cooperate, produce incredible high surge," jamie said Rhome, a shares and the national hurricane center of experts.
"Water accumulate more more," he said.
Other scientists think it is not likely to cause New Orleans strengthen defense flood the neighboring community. On the contrary, many factors combine to create the ideal flood conditions. For example, storm, at that time, almost are still, dumping rain is far more than many other tropical system.
"Said:" we started playing late Monday night the storm, and on Thursday over, Windell Curole, head south to pull blessing assorted levee in the southern region of New Orleans. "This is not a normal storm."
The storm in the sea to sit so long, open inland lakes become extremely unrest, water very drunk from one side to the other splash to land.
In addition, the residents along the coast there are many years say you feel left out in the shadow of New Orleans, it is a theme, appeared almost every time the hurricane led to the American southern Louisiana flood. Victor said, outside the community the levee system start to worry about additional flood, as long as the work to accelerate the protection around New Orleans katrina attacks, in 2005 and in violation of poor design of the dam.
Victor said, he was very grateful, bianconeri rapidly develop in the New Orleans area, but said it needs to keep his promise to provide security for remote community.
"The question now is, after hurricane katrina system has been built, the other program or was completely cancel or normal corps snail's pace is slowing," victor said.
More the requirements of the dam is more urgent between residents, also - brady, dawn said she 45 years old family has never been flooded, until then Isaac sent about 4 feet of water into the region's people like.
"My house is put forward," brady said. "I don't understand, this is the overriding, this is too terrible."
Someone said, unusual failure is what makes corps research is worth it.
Cheng, storm surge experts in university of Florida's Peter said: "it is absolutely possible, to the dam system of any modification will influence the whole region,". "Some areas may be better, in some areas, there may be more risks."
