Rita's Rains Breach Two New Orleans Levees
NEW ORLEANS - Hurricane Rita's wind and rain breached two of New Orleans' battered levees Friday and sent water gushing into already-devastated neighborhoods just days after they had been pumped dry. In the impoverished Ninth Ward, water streamed through gaps at least 100 feet wide in a levee and was soon waist-deep on a nearby street. It began covering buckled homes, piles of rubble and mud-caked cars that Katrina had swamped with up to 20 feet of water nearly a month ago.
Officials with the Army Corps of Engineers said other levees appeared secure, including those breached during Katrina, but there were leaks. South of the University of New Orleans, two separate streams of water gushed from beneath the patched London Avenue Canal, and water six to eight inches deep was soon rushing into homes in the surrounding Gentilly neighborhood. "Our worst fears came true," said Maj. Barry Guidry, a National Guardsman on duty at the broken levee in the Ninth Ward. "We have three significant breaches in the levee and the water is rising rapidly."

Alaska (AK) will get rain from Rita? Well, I guess Arkansas (AR) will get screwed, then, too.Shadow205 said:

If you lived in Texas, or Louisiana, you wouldn't want to go to sleep tonight in any low-lying areas. It could be hazardous to your health.

We lost cellphone contact with my husband around 1:30 or so today.
He had been having heavy winds, broken lines and when I last spoke with his a 70 mph wind and the anchor was ready to drop to hold him steady. He was just waiting for the storm suge to come. He should be getting that already by now.
Got my fingers crossed but I know he is doing what he is good at and this is what he has done all his life. He'll take care of his boat and his people.
Wish the celltowers were up so I could check on him.

Category Three Hurricane:
Winds 111-130 mph (96-113 kt or 178-209 km/hr). Storm surge generally 9-12 ft above normal. Some structural damage to small residences and utility buildings with a minor amount of curtainwall failures. Damage to shrubbery and trees with foliage blown off trees and large trees blown down. Mobile homes and poorly constructed signs are destroyed. Low-lying escape routes are cut by rising water 3-5 hours before arrival of the center of the hurricane. Flooding near the coast destroys smaller structures with larger structures damaged by battering from floating debris. Terrain continuously lower than 5 ft above mean sea level may be flooded inland 8 miles (13 km) or more. Evacuation of low-lying residences with several blocks of the shoreline may be required. Hurricanes Jeanne and Ivan of 2004 were Category Three hurricanes when they made landfall in Florida and in Alabama, respectively.

He captains a research vessel. It is a little over 250 ft. He had to take port between Morgan city and Grand Isle.Shadow205 said:Becba,
What does your husband do and where is he? Is he on one of those shrimp boats that Geraldo keeps talking about?
What is going on with the shrimp boats? Are they in a port? My worry is boats will become loose and crush each other.
Please tell me as I can't get to the tv now.
