I was just going to post that link. It's worse than we've been led to believe so far.

The biggest hurricanes are always like this. Within hours we have the kooks coming out and saying it was not a real storm. Silence is never a good thing, I would like to start hearing from some places in the next few hours.

What I didn't realize until recently was that "the bowl" that is New Orleans is actually 3 bowls, separated on the near east side of the city by the levees along the Industrial Canal and the Intercoastal Waterway. Hence when the hurricane went just far enough east and lost just enough strength before the winds on the lake shifted to from the north, the biggest bowl, with all the TV cameras, was spared. But the catastrophe of a bowl filling took place in the smallest bowl, the one on the ESE, when the Miss. River overtopped a levee near Arabi, and perhaps in other places. Also heard of some isolated overtopping along the lake, which appears to have been in the northeast bowl.
