I'll need to check a map of NO to see where this flooding is in relation to where my niece and nephew have their homes in Mid-City. They were not there, but I know they are so worried about their homes, and they won't be able to get back for a while. At least they are with family members, so they're safe.
I just checked the map, and my niece's house is in that area that is in danger of flooding now. She's a mile or two east of the New Orleans Country Club and the Metairie Cemetery, two place that were mentioned in the news reports has beginning to flood because of those levees having broken.
