The dome's backup generator failed about the time the flood crested in New Orleans. IIRC, either the exhaust or the fuel feed failed when flooded. I remember video of guys wading in the generator room trying top keep it going.

NBC showing live video of NO construction company barge cranes beached, high and dry. Tugs trying to pull them off while the crane uses 10 ton clamshell buckets to dig out the dirt holding them ashore. No joy today, the crews are sleeping on the barges and planning to give it another go tomorrow.
