East New Orleans is definitely under water
Aerial video on FoxNews shows it all. Water everywhere for miles and miles.

Treme, Bywater, Gentilly, the 9th Ward hit hard
Monday, 8 p.m.
Even as reports of damage continued coming in Monday night, the full extent of the destruction in Katrina's wake was hard to gauge.
But one thing was clear: Gentilly, Treme, Bywater and the 9th Ward had been swallowed.
The exit from I-10 onto to Claiborne Avenue - and then Claiborne itself - was underwater. Ditto the intersection of I-10 and Elysian Fields, where water reached near the roof lines of homes. Homes were also inundated at the I-10 exit at Louisa Street.
St. Claude Avenue, east of the French Quarter and into St. Bernard Parish, was almost undewater.
Oddities abounded: For instance, a house on Kentucky, off St. Claude, was surrounded by floodwater - yet it had just burned to the ground.
In addition to being flooded, many of the stores along St. Claude had their windows front blown out.
But some residents still managed to keep sense of irony: One homeowner had painted a sign on plywood. "Take care, Katrina,'' it read.
