Bad, Bad Katrina
From NOLA.com:
In St. Bernard there was a levee breach along the industrial canal.
NOAA regarding Lower Plaquemines Parish:
Some people who stayed in St. Bernard Parish were forced up into their attics to escape the floodwaters, said state Sen. Walter Boasso, who heard from local officials that some houses in Chalmette had water rising beyond the second floor.and:
“We know people were up in the attics hollering for help,” said Boasso, who evacuated to Baton Rouge and was camped out at the state Office of Emergency Preparedness....
Boasso said extensive flooding in the Lower 9th Board and St. Bernard Parish
could be blamed on water going over the tops of the levees.
Portions of the telephone system in metropolitan New Orleans failed about 9:30 a.m., further isolating the city as Katrina's center passed....The parish by parish alerts can be found here.
Bu mid-morning, dialing into and out of the New Orleans area was becoming increasingly difficult.
