Water rising at a hospital in central NOLA that was previously dry, but in the last few hours the water has been rising at a foot an hour.

A breach in the levee two blocks long?

Was going to bed, but the hospital information is very scary. I think the worst is not over.

They have to evacuate 1000 critically ill people in that hospital by air.

This is another horror in the making .. 1" of water coming in every 5 mins.... the rate is increasing .. frightening .. 6 ft. of water at the hospital on Canal St. and all through the main business district of downtown New Orleans .. due to the 2-block long breech in the levee I mentioned before ... allowing the water in Lake Ponchartrain to pour out.

They're talking to FEMA right now about evacuating the hospital ... Holy God .. this is deadly .. that Lake is going to kill even more people.. how can this be salvaged??
