Oops, this is from the Times Picayune!

.The water rushing through the damaged levee was not the only concern. Hurricane Katrina damaged the locks dividing different water levels between Lake Pontchartrain and the Mississippi River. "They are not functional," Rodriguez said of the locks. "You can't open or close them, and right now they're open."

Yup, Cboldt posted that a while back.

That puts Lake P 10 feet above sea level, which means that St. Bernards will flood to there, and if they don't stop the London Canal breach, then downtown NO floods to there too.

I'm sure there's something wrong with my math, there's no way that NO is going to flood to Mississippi River levels....completely, unerringly, totally positive...
