What do all these levee break pictures have to do with Mercy Hospital.Levees can and do break. It hubris to think they won't or can't. The man above without a jacket is my father. We were in the construction business together.

The Sacramento River by the Sacramento International Airport. As good luck would have it, there was a large pile of base rock at an airport construction site. The only other quick source of fill is to dig it out of the ground and it can be pretty wet. Google says there would be 8 ft. of water over the runways.
If there is deep water nearby water equipment can effect a repair.
Water out of control is a powerful thing. It has a mind of own.

Getting back to Mercy Hospital. Are they prepared? Are the generators high enough? What is prevent the mechanical equipment from getting flooded? Levees are like a chain. The weakest link will be the failure point.
