Bracing for Gustav

Was there one breach during Katrina that played a larger role in the flooding than the others?
The ones on the 17th Street and London canals may have been responsible for as much as 50 percent of the flooding. This time the control structure at the lakefronts should change that. They can see the surges and activate the station while allowing the sluice gates to continue to drain water from the canals.
