"White Flag" At 17th Street Canal; Wipeout Of New Orleans?
The government has thrown in the towel in their attempt to contain the rushing water pouring through the gaps on the 17th Street Canal levee. This has prompted a massive evacuation of the entire eastbank of Jefferson Parish and New Orleans. Projected flooding in previously unharmed sections of New Orleans is at 9 feet.
According to a message posted at WWLTV.com, the deluge is expected to manifest within the next 9-12 hours. After Crescent City residents near the river, where the land is highest, breathed a sigh of relief in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, these same people could find themselves gasping for breath with the surge of flood waters invading downtown and uptown.
After attempts at repairing the punctures via helicopter bombing with sandbags in the breaks at the17th Street Canal levee failed to abate the draining waters of Lake Pontchatrain, New Orleans is now prone for the coup de grace. The French Quarter, Uptown, and downtown New Orleans will soon join Gentilly, the lower 9th Ward, New Orleans East, St. Bernard, and eastern St. Tammany in feeling the pain of the most terrible catastrophe ever to occur in Louisiana history.
The extra water will further complicate rescue efforts by authorities in boats possibly leading to families having to spend another 48 hours in their attics or on top of their roofs.
The people of Louisiana are not out of the swamp yet in the Katrina Saga.
Of note, I have launched a weblog with the St. Bernard picture on it along with the posts I have sent. The address is KatrinasWrath.blogspot.com. In the mean time, please continue to offer petitions to Providence for the deliverence of New Orleans and its residents from this scourge of nature.
