Thanks - I made a guess and missed -- hopefully the US 90 bridge is still open in central NO.

They just said everyone in the city should leave, and Crescent City connection is the only way to leave.

T-P EVACUATING

Tuesday, 9:40 a.m.

The Times-Picayune is evacuating it's New Orleans building.

Water continues to rise around our building, as it is throughout the region. We want to evaucate our employees and families while we are still able to safely leave our building.

Our plan is to head across the Mississippi River on the Pontchartrain Expressway to the west bank of New Orleans and Jefferson Parish. From there, we'll try to head to Houma.

Our plan, obviously, is to resume providing news to our readers ASAP. Please refer back to this site for continuing information as soon as we are able to provide it.

There are scattered reports that the US 90 bridge has been destroyed - only pilings left.
