This is probably a dumb question....Isn't ALL of NO south of lake Ponchetrain?

How much of the city has 8 feet of water and white caps?

The city proper is indeed south of the lake. What most people associate with New Orleans---French Quarter, Superdome, etc.---is located south of the lake and north of the river.

Unfortunately that is how he reported it [south of Lake Ponchartrain]. I don't know. I wish we had better news for those who are affected. I fear many are in real trouble right now and we just don't know it.
