Levee Breaks in California

April 5, 2006

Two levees broke in Merced, California after heavy rains, flooding a trailer park. CNN has more here. Although the CNN article doesn't mention it, I seem to recall Gov. Schwarzenegger toured the state and talked about the levee situation. If anyone has any links to that drop me a note. I'll try to check on that later.

Update: Alert Reader Brent (thanks Brent!) sent the following links concerning the Governor and levees: http://www.news10.net/storyfull.asp?id=16514 http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/pictures/LOA04D.htm
