Currently this isn't a levee thing, (it may become that later). It's more due to the fact that New Orleans is below sea and river level, so they have to pump out every drop of rain that falls inside the city.
Evidently either the pumps or the sewer lines (or both) can't keep up.
That's far more accurate. I've seen three feet of water in my neighborhood from a simple summer storm without a hurricane.
Where at?
Lower Garden District. At the time.
I went to De La Salle crime has gotten so bad Uptown.
Uptown was the last place I lived (Carrollton). I still visit frequently. Haven't noticed any changes except different supermarkets.
We had some of the nasty stuff earlier today, and are supposed to get more at least through Sunday. It is SO humid...unreal.

It rained today, and the sun wasn't even out, but it felt like 110% humidity.
It was at least still around 88, too.

It's hard to pump out 6" an hour. Plus the Mississippi is still up form previous floods in the upper Mississippi rain shed.
