    I’ve been listening to WWL online and it seems that they have gone down. This happened earlier and they came back. Hopefully they will come back soon.

    I’m thankful the last of my friends moved from town last fall but this is still truly horrible.

    A world-class city of the rarest kind. Best of luck and I hope everybody and that gem of a city survives as best you can.

    WARNING!!! The Army Corp of Engineers plan to get the water out of New Orleans will include breeching levees that have held up to this point and that will flood much of those areas that have managed to avoid flooding. Makes you wonder whose side they are on. They are also responsible for NOT providing the Blackhawk choppers to save the levee that was protecting the major pump several days ago that the Mayor complained about.

    seems to show water flooding INTO not FROM the Industrial Canal near Law St and N Roman St.
    Please, can you explain me if what are the respective altitudes of this area and other canals, river, etc.
