I've read that the true catastrophe scenarios for New Orleans involve a storm coming at more of a NW angle than Ivan will have. And it's obvious why on the map when you look at the approaches to Lake Ponchatrain.

So my question is: considering the direction that Ivan is coming from, how strong will it have to be to breach the levees?

If it hits, as is, or a Cat 4, the levees will no longer be keeping the water out - IMO.
