    Maybe if there were NO levees, the flooding would not be as catastrophic as in 2008.

    You of course mean DOWN river, which is where the existence of levees pushes flood waters…towards properties which don’t have levee systems in place.
    But since the levees were breached up river & the catastrophic damage still occured DOWN river, the existence of the levees was not a factor in this years flooding.
