Good info has been hard to come by, obviously. Notice that Nagin did not mention any locks and pooh-poohed anything going on near the London Canal.

Those "sand bubbles" sound like the natural spring at the bottom of my Mother's wishing well. Very beautiful, but capable of conveying much water to the surface.

Of course I saw the recent release addressed to you.

"Heavy rain and winds reaching 65km/h were reported in the city as the hurricane came ashore before dawn, according to the spokesperson, adding that Houston still faced the risk of flooding."

Fwiw, I was playing top league tennis today in winds of up to 60 km/h at time. Not very pleasant, but nothing to worry about.

Ok well...the good news (I had to work pretty hard to find some) is that right now...all the water is pushing up to the north side of Lake P, not against NO....and all the water south of there can't push past the Mississippi river levees, assuming they hold....rosy outlook, no?
