Yeah. There was dry air to the north and south of Isaac when it was just west of the tip of Florida. That was probably why it did not get wound up tightly. And although water temps at the surface were warm enough to support intensification, the heat content or depth of that heat showed a lack of heat content in the Gulf to the south and south east of New Orleans.

Margaret Orr @MargaretOrr @AUDRAAAYsay_ Isaac will be moving your way during the day, so expect winds, rain to increase-similar to what is happening south shore. View conversation Reply Retweet Favorite

Now why would anyone put a house in Pointe Celeste, LA. You gotta figure one day (or every five years) your place is going to get hit with a hurricane.

Tornado warning, New Orleans street flooding and the 18-mile stretch of levee in Plaquemines Parish over-topping mentioned in the UPDATES list section under this article.
Live: Hurricane Isaac Along Louisiana Coast
Flooding was and always is the concern here. Also, it basically stalled overnight. If it goes west, the gulf water there has more heat content.

Houma, Louisiana. Drove through that area just last summer at the peak of the Mississippi flooding. To the west of Houma there are a few dozen very small towns that exist behind a wall of levees. The flooding was about 5-6 feet away from over topping. Supposedly the situation this summer is vastly different.
To: NautiNurse
UPDATE
Woodlawn Fire Department Now reporting 5 feet of water in their building and Rescues are now taking place in Plaquemines Parish.
The levees at Braithwaite in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana has been over swept with flood water causing at least 9 foot of flooding at some residences still occupied.
There have been reports of a woman trapped in her attic with her mother who is on dialysis amongst many other residents who have chosen to stay through the storm.
The residents that have been able to make contact are reporting being on the top levels of their homes

Per the live news link somewhere on the first 50 posts of this thread:
18 miles of interior levee in Plaquamines Parish have over-topped.
Emergency services have reported people trapped on roof tops, two pump operators went out onto a levee to find out why the pumps had stopped and had to be rescued by boat.
