For those interested in NOLA flooding, it has been reported over on Storm2K by posters in the NO area that the Harvey Street Canal has been overtopped as of early this P.M. The levee or floodwall has not been breached, however. There may be further posts over there on this topic.

I don't know where the Harvey Street Canal is, and my AOL/Google had no matches with New Orleans.

Harvey Canal is on the south side of the Mississippi River, and borders Harvey and Gretna (which lie to the east) aand Westwago (which lies to the west). This would be a new pehnomenon, and sounds as though it is Gulf surge, coming in from the south.

harvey street canal is south of the city and south of the river i think..

DeLorme has no match for Harvey Street either.

In any event, this means that every canal connected to Lake P. is also full up...not good news.

Keep i mind that early reports are often wrong...but in this case, i'd be more inclined to doubt the correct spelling than the report tiself.
