From the CNN weatherguy's explanation earlier, I'm gathering that the main break is the one in this edited slice from the big link above, Lake P being in the direction of the bottom of the picture:

But there appears to be another, smaller (for the moment) breach on the other side of the canal.
Perhaps a result of hydrologic forces in that direction from the original break ?

Nice spotting.

That explains the debris piled at the bridge.

That gives me an idea.....that bridge is a choke point. It's risky but if the bridge structure holds the flow into NO could be slowed down there.

thanks for pix and all the comments you are ALL getting from news & posting. No cable/dish here and as you all well know the soaps aren't great sources of news. The cube bound & folks like me appreciate your sharing.

The lower of those two pics is actually 'down-canal' from the upper one, i.e. closer to downtown NO>
