Looks like continuing rain possible on the bowl of NOLA as well.

What's the name of the river flood relief system that is north of Pontchartrain? The lake and river are connected by the Industrial Canal too, but AFAIK, those locks are holding fine.

You might be thinking of the Bonne Carre Spillway.

From the last thread:

Perry called the National Guard and Feds in on Monday, which is why they were in place by Thursday. That's where I got my Monday thing from.

Does anyone have a link to the evidence on when Blank-O called in the Feds? I need to ram it down the throat of a liberal.
