They're letting people back into Jefferson Parish until tomorrow to inspect damage. Water is back in some areas. The parish will be closed for a few weeks to allow recovery efforts to proceed quickly. There's some flooding in Old Metairie and near Airline at the end of the 17th Street Canal. Some reports have said 15% of the parish is or was flooded.
St. Charles Parish faired very well. Water's back on in at least some of the parish, and the public schools
set a tentative reopening date for the week of September 12.
Good news about St. Bernard. I know about the flooding in Metairie, but does anyone know about Harahan, which is at the other end of the Parish on the Mississippi River side? A lot of it is industrial. I wondered about fires, or looting. I don't think they got flooded, or ot very much.They are a whole 7 feet above sea level! Destrehan in St. Bernard is 10 feet above.
