Rita Hits Northwest Gulf Coast: NOLA and southwest Louisiana are getting thrashed right now. A complete list of mandatory and voluntary evacuations for Louisiana.
Another New Orleans Levee Problem (5:15PM CDT) – Following this morning’s topping and subsequent breach of the Ninth Ward Industrial Canal levee, the freshly-patched London Avenue Canal has two breaches. Water enters the Gentilly area from under the canal. In my sad, but honest, opinion, this is a good time for the Army Corps of Engineers to test the integrity of their repair work.
