Water pouring over levees in N.O.

Posted by: ST on September 23, 2005 at 11:05 am

Fox News is reporting with this headline (no story just yet):

Water Pours Over Levee in New Orleans

The email notification from Fox said "dozens of blocks underwater." I’ll post more here as it becomes available.

Update: Here’s the story:

NEW ORLEANS  — Water poured over a patched levee Friday, cascading into one of the city’s lowest-lying neighborhoods and heightening fears that Hurricane Rita would re-flood this devastated city.

"Our worst fears came true. The levee will breach if we keep on the path we are on right now, which will fill the area that was flooded earlier," said Barry Guidry with the Georgia National Guard.

Dozens of blocks in the Ninth Ward were under water as a waterfall at least 30 feet wide poured over a dike that had been used to patch breaks in the Industrial Canal. On the street that runs parallel to the canal, the water ran waist-deep and was rising fast.

    If anybody dies in NO this time around, its not Bush’s fault is it??!!! Its that damn fool mayor who told people to start coming back even while ‘Rita’ was just off the Keys. That was so he could collect some tax money. His words, not mine!
    But hey man, at least the girlie bars are open! I bet lap dances are down to a buck!

    Maybe Hassart is correct. The parts of New Orleans that has severly been flooded now in two hurricanes should be converted to parks, spillage areas or enforced for additional levies.

    Nature is determined to take back N.O.. Why are we sinking good money after bad?

    LA as well as other states do not use their tax dollars nor their federal share of tax dollars wisely.

    Is fair to keep throwing good money down a sinking rat hole?
