Gustav downgraded to Category 2 just before landfall. (But, remember, Katrina did, too. The story of a Category 3 Katrina hitting New Orleans isn’t true, especially out of the mouth of Bush’s FEMA or the Army Corps of Engineers, which had its funding for levee repairs cut by both Bush AND Clinton administrations. (Don’t forget that.)
That said, back to Gustav. The max storm surge appears it will stay below 15 feet, which means levees will not be topped by a surge taller then them. That said, some could still be breached, of course. And, Gustav has widened, along with the bit of degredation.
