Catastrophic flooding in New Orleans East

#1 Postby TSmith274 » Mon Aug 29, 2005 11:24 am

As reported by Fox News about 11:15CST, Major levee breach on east bank of the Industrial Canal has flooded eastern New Orleans and the New Orleans lower 9th ward above many first floor windows, and up to ceilings in most houses. Reporter is stuck on an overpass and reports water topping U-Haul delivery trucks on the roadways. Also reports whitecaps in the streets and lapping onto houses. Let's hope the Lake Ponchartrain levees hold, as we are reaching a critical point with water being forced south by severe north winds at this point.

I have an aunt and uncle staying at my house right now... I can't help but think about whether they'll have a house or not upon return. I believe my uncle has already decided and accepted that his sailboat will be g-o-n-e upon return...
