This is a HUGE decision ~ while there will almost certainly be an appeal, I can see insurance companies who DID pay claims to file against the Army now ~ along with all the residents whose claims were rejected ~ Sooz


Judge: Corps' failure led to Katrina flooding
 Ruling says navigation channel wasn't properly maintained

NEW ORLEANS - A federal judge has ruled that the Army Corps of Engineers' failure to properly maintain a navigation channel led to massive flooding by Hurricane Katrina along the Gulf Coast in 2005.

U.S. District Judge Stanwood Duval late Wednesday ruled in favor of residents who alleged the Army Corps' shoddy oversight of the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet led to the flooding of New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward and neighboring St. Bernard Parish.

Many in Katrina have argued that Katrina, which struck the region Aug. 29, 2005, was a manmade disaster caused by the Army Corps' failure to maintain the levee system protecting the city.
