New Orleans is History

The city will be 100% covered w/water by sunrise tomorrow. It's getting 'more worser' by the hour and no way to stop the water.
 
If that is true then your right New Orleans is done and that is an unreal thought

How long does it take to stop water from coming in??

From WWL TV: New Orleans is below sea level and within 12-15hrs the water level in the city will be 3ft OVER sea level:doh1

Keep in mind N.O. is in the bottom of a 'bowl'

Really a shame.....

I got wiped out here in Florida last year.

Really just the total opposite.

Water has destroyed that area while the storm in general, with the winds destroyed ours.......

Still plenty of people here not in their homes a year later.
Can't imagine how long it will be for those unfortunate ones this time.....

Water rising at 17th St. canal

Tuesday, 6:30 p.m.

Mayor Ray Nagin has announced that the attempt to plug a breach in the
17th Street canal at the Hammond Highway bridge has failed and the
rising water is about to overwhelm the pumps on that canal.

The result is that water will begin rising rapidly again, and could
reach as high as 3 feet above sea level. In New Orleans and Jefferson
Parish, that means floodwaters could rise as high as 15 feet in the next
few hours.


Nagin urged residents to try to find higher ground as soon as possible.
 
****ALL RESIDENTS ON THE EAST BANK OF ORLEANS AND JEFFERSON REMAINING IN THE METRO AREA ARE BEING TOLD TO EVACUATE AS EFFORTS TO SANDBAG THE LEVEE BREAK HAVE ENDED. THE PUMPS IN THAT AREA ARE EXPECTED TO FAIL SOON AND 9 FEET OF WATER IS EXPECTED IN THE ENTIRE EAST BANK. WITHIN THE NEXT 12-15 HOURS****





Jeff Parish President. </B>Residents will probably be allowed back in town in a week, with identification only, but only to get essentials and clothing. You will then be asked to leave and not come back for one month.
