Water rose last night in the 9th Ward....

I am sure it is Bush's fault...

Ninth Ward floods for the third time

Up to one foot of water crept into parts of the Lower Ninth Ward overnight Sunday and into Monday morning, once again flooding Florida Avenue and parts of Jourdan Avenue.

Temporary pumps set up near the Industrial Canal by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers were not turned on Sunday. Groundwater that had collected at pumping station no. 5, ruined by Hurricane Katrina, seeped into the streets, said Stewart Waits, project manager of the Corps' Task Force on Watering.

"It collects and it shows up on the streets," Waits said Monday. "I'm hoping it's a one-time occurrence. We'll have to monitor it."
