Just now going through some of the links. I'm struck by the severity of the damage...much worse than I imagined from reading MSM reports.

Most breaches did not affect the "city of NOLA," and therefore are absent from media reports.

Only 5 breaches talked about as having flooded the city, and the media still hasn't presented a coherent summary of those facts. This is also the first review I've seen that shows and describes the impact on river levees.

On the Rita Live thread, they are saying that FOX is reporting water "pouring into the 9th ward".

CoE is looking into it.

I'm glad you all are getting something out of this, and wish I could focus on it entirely right now, but there's this other hurricane....

I work right near the folgers plant. I'm situated between the Chef Hwy and the railroad track in the 14000 block of Chef. The area didn't take any water if you're curious. Apparently the highway and tracks acted as a makeshift levee and kept everything dry in that sliver of land. The area covering Six Flags was still under a lot of water at the beginning of this week.
