Looking for a hard location on NO levee breaches.

Got 9th ward, looking especially for reports from London Canal or any other affecting downtown New Orleans.

Over on A&E just now, they were touring NOLA and admiring the clever pumping system into the Lake that was installed in 1909.

Times Picayune report covers Industrial Canal overtopping, and notes nothing regarding problems at 17th Street or London Avenue.

An article notes that rainwater is being held underground in tunnels until the sheet steel piling at the 17th Street and London Ave. canals is removed, to facilitate pumping out of the accumulated rainfall. Capacity is about a 6 inch rainfall.
