My Aunt lives 2 blocks from the Lake levee (she was pulled by C.G.) She said it ruptured when it was hit by a barge! The barge was trying to fix a bridge. That is the second time I heard about a barge hitting the levee. There was a short report on FOX about an 80-some- year-old man who said the same thing. The FOX reporter questioned about a barge being on the lake, if it had been blown in there by the hurricane. Wonder what is up with this "barge" story - if there is any truth to it.

The barge was trying to fix a bridge or overpass.
My Aunt saw it happen, then was rescued from her roof.
Her husband (chef) cooked dinner for the Coast Guard that day before they left.
