LATE REPORT
Gauge in Industrial Canal continues to rise. At 11.24 feet. Water is still pouring into Lake Borgne from the ESE keeping pressure up on the MRGO and Industrial Canal. The overtopping is on the Gentilly side. The Katrina breach occurred on the Lower Ninth Ward side.
EARLIER REPORT
The live video is compelling from New Orleans…
WWL and WDSU are both showing live video of water overtopping the flood walls on the Industrial Canal in eastern New Orleans in the same area where breaches flooded the Lower Ninth Ward in Katrina.
The Corps says that scour protection has been built into the walls and are confident that the flood walls will hold.
We can only hope and pray.
