Your post about the barge

I saw a film of Chalmette done by locals on tv last night. And there was that barge! And the big broken levee. The local said that barge appeared to break a concrete levee. It was near the lock in Chalmette. I don't know the area at all but it looked as if the barge made St Bernard flood.

Anyone know the area?
