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.

I mean, I guess we'd expect it to be evacuated but wouldn't SOMEBODY with a cell phone have ridden it out?
