From the NWS via Weather Underground (the New Orleans NWS site is extremely slow) -

The National Weather Service in New Orleans has issued a

* Flash Flood Warning for... 
Orleans Parish in southeast Louisiana
this includes the cities of... New Orleans
St. Bernard Parish in southeast Louisiana
this includes the city of Chalmette

* until 215 PM CDT

* a levee breach occurred along the Industrial canal at tennesse 
street. 3 to 8 feet of water is expected due to The Breach.

* Locations in the warning include but are not limited to Arabi and 
9th Ward of New Orleans.

Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the
roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross
safely. Vehicles caught in rising water should be abandoned quickly.
Move to higher ground.

A Flash Flood Warning means that flooding is imminent or occurring.
If you are in the warning area move to higher ground immediately.
Residents living along streams and creeks should take immediate
precautions to protect life and property. Do not attempt to cross
swiftly flowing waters or waters of unknown depth by foot or by
automobile.
