Although the hurricane spared New Orleans, the major population center of the area, a direct blow, the storm surge caused several of the city’s levees to fail, flooding 80% of the city with up to 20 feet (6 m) of water fouled by sewage, oil, and other pollutants.", pages = "415-416(2)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/stc/tc/2005/00000052/00000004/art00001" }
