(FNN)*--NEW ORLEANS--Just hours after the
New Orleans Saints' unprecedented
Super Bowl victory over the
Indianapolis Colts, the Crescent City's levee system miraculously rose five feet.
"I went out on our daily levee check about 11 p.m. Sunday, and Lord in heaven, all the levees surrounding and within the City of New Orleans had increased five feet in height!" exclaimed Jimbo LaFontaine, shift supervisor the for the New Orleans Department of Public Works. "I knew
Drew Brees could do great things, but wow, making the levees better? Who Dat? The Saints really did bring good things to this community."
Sports media hype before and during the most recent Super Bowl suggested that New Orleans "deserved" a Super Bowl victory because of
Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath and because of the Saints' losing tradition.
In a statement released from the White House,
President Barack Obama said both the Saints' victory and the subsequent miraculous increase in the city's levees were part of the change he promised in the 2008 campaign.
"It's an outrage to think that such hope is not possible," President Obama said. "After a year of spinning my wheels on
health care and Guantanamo, this is the sort of positive change you can expect in 2010 from my administration."
Meanwhile, in Indianapolis, at about the same time, the dome over the
Lucas Oil Field, the home of the Colts, was found to have a number of cracks.
