2 block breach in a levee holding back Lake Pont from DT NO. Apparently there are currently white caps down Canal St.

EDIT: Just checking some of this out on Goodle Earth (which is an amazing program by the way). That hospital is only about 12 blocks north from the Mississippi. That levee breach is a loooooong way from that hospital. That is an amazing amount of water. Its almost impossible to imagine.

EDIT again: OK, that hospital is about 6 miles from that breach. Crazy.
