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.

Thanks to everyone for the info on Harvey Street Canal. I can now locate it on my map, and it does not look good.

If I see anything more about it on Storm2K or elsewhere, I'll update.
