Flood waters are visible west of Industrial Canal

Friday, 8:50 a.m.

Water apparently has flooded back into part of New Orleans on the western side of the Industrial Canal. From the Interstate 10 high rise over the canal, water was visible at the New Orleans Cold Storage Facility and in other port facilities Friday morning. Water also had spilled onto Alvar Street and neighboring roads.

Hopefully they won't get too much water, but who knows at this time. At least the area that is flooding was already inundated before, so it can't really do much damage now.

Especially bad for NOLA because a lot of Americans are going to be wondering whether that's the right place to spend a hundred billion dollars to rebuild a city. They can't even start to rebuild until the levees are back to what they were originally and that will take until next summer at the earliest.

I'm in Jackson County Mississippi and our tides are
already 3 to 4 feet above normal...

Lake Ponchatrain will continue to increase in level...

I had to evacuate back to Jeff Parish. Yes, it is raining pretty darn good. Some very strong squalls began coming through about 3 this morning.

Chances are it's the patches to the previous breaches which are failing.
