Fox ReporterDude

Water now coming via industrial canal and flooding parts of 9th ward. But not a breach. Also seepage at 17th canal.

No catastrophic failure yet per corps.

Contractors are on way.
Privately, ReporterDude says officials tell him they don't know how levees will hold up.

My expectation is that NO will reflood if the storm hits Beaumont or further east. They'll get the Mobile Bay effect that we got during Katrina. The water was pushed up the bay by south winds and flooded the entire downtown area.
