Deadly #Floods Due to #Levee Failures Reflect Need for #Infrastructure Investment
Levees were never designed to handle extreme weather that is now more common due to climate change.
By Farshid Vahedifard, December 29, 2025
"In recent weeks, powerful #AtmosphericRiver storms have swept across #Washington, #Oregon and #California, unloading enormous amounts of rain. As rivers surged, they overtopped or breached multiple levees – those long, often unnoticed barriers holding #floodwaters back from homes and towns.
"Most of the time, levees don’t demand attention. They quietly do their job, year after year. But when storms intensify, levees suddenly matter in a very personal way. They can determine whether a neighborhood stays dry or ends up underwater.
"The damage in the West reflects a nationwide problem that has been building for decades. Across the U.S., levees are getting older while weather is getting more extreme. Many of these structures were never designed for the enormous responsibility they now carry.
"As a civil engineer at Tufts University, I study water infrastructure, including the vulnerability of levees and strategies for making them more resilient. My research also shows that when levees fail, the consequences don’t fall evenly on the population."

Having written a paragraph I’m particularly proud of, I got lost in finding something to so that I could keep pace. I reached for one of my favorites, “When The Levee Breaks” done by Led Zeppelin.
Like most things I like, it has a history that I’ve drilled down into. This song just drives through emotion, plodding through the mud with purpose, with a steady rhythm regardless of what comes. It’s grounding. You’re in the ‘suck’, but you keep moving at a very primal level.
The history goes back to 1927.
The Great Mississippi flood of 1927 has a pretty thorough Wikipedia page. It was the most destructive river flood in the United States. Imagine 27,000 square miles in water up to 30 feet in depth. 500 dead, 630,000 people affected. Population density was lower then.
It’s a song born of, “well this sucks, but I’ll make it through”.

I'm a sucker for a beautiful #song, but I'm a slut for a cover that transcends the original in music, visuals or both. PLAYING FOR CHANGE has hit the mark many times over the last few years. This one just reduced me to tears. #WhenTheLeveeBreaks #Zeppelin #JohnPaulJones #MusicIsLife #UniversalLove
