"WBRZ is reporting that 125 people in the 9th Ward have had to climb up onto the roofs of their homes
due to rising water. The 9th ward is surrounded on three sides by water. This is probably close to the
levee breach at Tennessee St. at the Industrial Canal."
Agreed, a report from the governor tied them together.
another member posted that he believed this was physically seperated from the main downtown New Orleans levee system and judging from material posted by yet another freeper, I now concur.
I know of no reports that indicate levee breaches in the downtown area as of this post.
It flooded in the same place in 1965....
