What I understood was that the attempt to sandbag the levy had failed, the water would continue to rise and the nearby pump would soon be overwhelmed and go off-line automatically... resulting in 12 to 15 feet of water in downtown NO.

I am looking for someone who knows the New Orleans area fairly well...my brother lives in the 2000 block of Dumaine St., about 10 blocks from the Quarter. We haven't heard from him since yesterday. Can anyone tell me where I could find information on how bad off his particular area is?
Thanks from a worried big sister :)

This is dreadful. Does anyone have an any idea if water on both sides of the river at the levys could compromise them? That's the only thing that could be worse at this point.

Small consolation, but it least this did not happen during the raging of the storm. New Orleans would look more like Gulf Port.
