Several weeks ago I wrote a column thanking all those emergency-services workers who put in long hours of toil through our state’s flooding disaster. One organization which I overlooked was the Army Corps of Engineers, which has oversight of this region’s many flood-control levees and other hydraulic structures, including dams. These folks were out in force during the height of the flooding, as well as in the days (and weeks) after it, evaluating how well our systems of levees and flood-control dams worked. The Corps deserves our thanks.
