I personally don’t think so. But, this Huey character goes one better:
And despite the catastrophic flooding, Huey says, "As far as the overall flood protection system, it’s intact, it’s there today, it worked. In 239 miles of levees, 152 floodgates, and canals throughout this entire city, there was only two areas."
Can you believe that? Whew.
I don’t even know how to comment on that. I really don’t.
