Chalmette (just east of New Orleans proper in St. Bernard parish) has about 10 feet of water and is rising. People in Chalmette highschool are huddling in the hallways, after the water blew out the windows.

Chalmette is where my friend and her entire family lives. Luckily, they have all evacuated, and she was in LA for her friends wedding. But if the water is 10 feet high, that means that their houses are pretty much completely under water.
