There was some indication on this thread yesterday that levels in NO were already higher than the lake - it will be interesting to see now if the water in NO keeps rising, which would indicate a breach in a river levee.

That would make this a whole different ballgame.

If I read the tide tables correctly, the tide is heading out and high tide will occur again at 8AM Thursday.

Given the situation, a breach on the river is anyone's guess.

How much higher is the river than the Lake Pont?
