There's still virtually no information coming out of or about Slidell.
Water is rising in downtown New Orleans. Poydras Street, which had only a few inches of water yesterday now has two feet of water and its still rising.

I was looking for info on Slidell, too. I found this post and have NO idea on if it is at all accurate. Editting the name and some other statements by the poster, they are frightening and I don't want to spread rumors like that. but again it is from the www.wwltv.com then go to there weather forums.

We should have a much more realistic view of what's happening when the sun rises on NO. Although, I suspect FEMA and other officials will hold back info from refugees to prevent them from returning to this chaotic situation.
