against build five homes miles
It's a right-of-way issue. Usually, there are homes right up against the canal. You have to relocate five miles of homes (to build a levee), or you can build a floodwall.
category orleans possible protect tantamount
It's possible to protect New Orleans from a Category 5 hurricane. To do nothing is tantamount to negligence.
highest limit looking lower maybe
There's no upper limit to category-5, so we're looking at the highest level, the mid-range level, and lower level, maybe like a Katrina-type storm.
failure flooded gradual means might
A levee failure might be more gradual than with a floodwall. It means you may have flooded a little slower.
