Kenner flooding serious
Monday, 1:45 p.m.
Willliams Boulevard in Kenner is flooded north of I-10 to just before the lake levee, officials said.
Officials said the flooding appears to be more severe than seen on May 8, 1995. However, Lake Pontchartrain did not overtop levees. Throughout Williams and elsewhere in Kenner, businesses, homes and apartments are dealing with flooding and significant roof damage.
Chateau Boulevard is a zig-zag of trees and power lines blocking one of Kenner's main arteries.
A weather guy on ABC local said he thought the water backed up in the drain canals, and that's why there's flooding...In other words, maybe not due to overflow over levees.
