This is possibly the worse thing for a storm to do- if it reaches even a Cat 1. The rain is over the lower parishes and even Le Quartier Francais but the wind will be worst blowing water into Lake Pontchartrain which would block the outflow from rain falling inland. Not good. Hope all the barriers work.

Bigger problem, Mr. Naut, is that the Mississippi River is at 16 feet in New Orleans, one foot below flood stage. A Cat 1 land falling to the west of NOLA will push the river level to 20 feet or more. The lowest river levees here are 20 feet. Record river level ever in NOLA was 21.7 feet during the great flood in 1927. If the river over tops the levees, or one of them breaches, and we get 10"" of rain, it could make the flooding after Katrina look like a walk in the park. To top it all off, we had 7" of rain this morning in 3 hours. There was flooding all over the city.
Say a prayer for us, guys!

I have been in the projected and actual eyes of the storms and know that feeling well. Are you in the drier better sited part of NOLA? Although even that is risky I can remember standing on a levee looking down at the streets in one of the Northern parishes I thought if the river were to overtop the levee then it would quickly become a trifle damp Let's hope that the prognostications turn out to be incorrect

I live in the French Quarter, which is the highest part of the city. It won't matter if the river comes in.

Fox News Casey Seagal reporting a levee being over-topped at plaquemines parish.....
"It's a very fluid situation in New Orleans at the moment."
