Dear Patrick
With the advent of Hurricane Season, we're taking a shot at a persistent wrong-headed myth about the Great New Orleans Flood.
Fact-checked and vetted by several experts, this latest myth buster addresses the "drive by levee inspections" and their role in the catastrophic flooding of 2005.
The Huffington Post has published the myth buster, and you can see it there.
Check it out.
