The sea is coming in with the surge. Nothing is going out to sea when a hurricane is coming in.
All of the north shore rivers are going to levels never seen before.
I can never spell these right
Bogue Chitto may hit 22 feet. 11 feet is flood stage
Trefuctunte levee has breached
Madisonville under 5 feet of water including city hall so far.
Slidell Indian Village under water (same area that had boats 30 feet in the trees after Katrina)

The Mississippi River is up 8 ft. at Baton Rouge (80 miles by road) from New Orleans with little or no rain fall north of town at the time of the reading. The river was at record lows prior to the hurricane.

I think the fact the storm essentially parked right offshore was a scenario they didn't plan for, "18 of rain in one day is a huge amount..

The whole Gulf area seems to have a NIMBY attitude. The odds will get them sooner or later

Hurricane Isaac Causes First Death as Tornadoes Ravage Region
A tow truck driver was killed on the job by a tree that fell around midnight, Pearl River Emergency Management Deputy Director Amanda Harris told ABC News. The man's name and age has not yet been released.
"[The county] is completely flooded. And it's only going to get worse," Harris said, adding that rivers and creeks along the county near the Louisiana border will not crest until midnight tonight through 4 a.m.
"The worst is yet to come," Harris said.
Lt. Vernon Smith of the Pascagoula, Miss., police tells ABC News that a tornado touched down at 8:20 a.m. just south of town that sits 28 miles from Biloxi.
"It landed right on top of a house, just sat on it," Smith said, adding that people were believed to be inside. "There are people injured."
Surrounding areas of Louisiana are expected t
o see almost two feet of rain and more dangerous floods by the end of the week, while seven tornadoes have spun off from Isaac in Mississippi and Alabama so far.
A tornado that touched down in Gulfport, Miss., has caused the most damage, where significant destruction to homes has been reported.
The rising waters from rain and flooding have already left locals scrambling up to attics and onto roofs. The main parishes that pose the greatest concern sit around Lake Pontchartrain.
An unofficial rainfall total of 22.5 inches was reported in Arabi, La., near the city's 9th Ward on Wednesday. An official report from Audubon Park in New Orleans listed 17 inches of rainfall.
In Mississippi, Highway 90 remains shut down, with much of area now submerged in water. 30,000 customers are without power in Gulfport, Miss., alone, where an apparent tornado spawned by the storm ripped a house from ground.

Because just about everywhere is prone to some sort of disaster or another for $100?
At least we can see hurricanes coming and properly prepare.
They said it's failing.
Doesn't sound like completely down yet.
They have been calling for Fire trucks to help with pumping water out from the lake.
Not sure if they could make a dent big enough to relieve pressure.

And now we have folks arrived at the shelters without shoes, no medicines, no travel bags, nothing but clothes on their backs. WTH? The freaking hurricane was not an earthquake or a big surprise, folks. Don't be so helpless and clueless and dependence.
Weird. Announce you're going to have 1/4 inch of snow in some regions of the country, and everyone PREPARES for the worst case scenario. But announce a 9 foot storm surge in an area with an 8 foot levee and the yokels say, "9 minus 8, that be one foot of water right there yes sir. Think I'm gunna gotme some pork rinds, a moon pie, and a case of beer and ride out this here shower." Wait, that's not fair. They're not that stupid. To be fair, some of them weren't in MANDATORY evacuation areas. "Well, I didn't expect it to get so bad." Oh yeah? You're not the friggin weatherman, are you? The weathermen have been warning you for days.

Sounds like my cousins
Sub the pork rinds for grattons and moon pies for fried fruit pies

But, but a foot of water only comes up to ones knees. You can walk through it or drive through it with no problem.

Mow the lawn before it hits. Otherwise, the mower may not be able to handle the excess growth.

Did that last night. But not worried about the mower. It's a PTO driven deck powered by a diesel engine.
What they didn't (or the forecasters) didn't anticipate was the stalling off the coast. the bands would dump a crapload of water, head back out to sea, recharge in the gulf then dump again, it's happened off the Tampa/St Pete coast and it's the worst case scenario when/wherever it occurs. In 2008 Tropical storm Fay crossed FL into the Atlantic, regained strength in the gulf stream then came back ashore just north of Daytona, what a friggin mess, then in 2009 an unnamed storm dropped this amount of rain in 4 days, here's a pic link of what the local golf course looked like, http://s239.photobucket.com/albums/ff296/butch100_2007/?action=view¤t=waterhole.jpg#!oZZ7QQcurrentZZhttp%3A%2F%2Fs239.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fff296%2Fbutch100_2007%2F%3Faction%3Dview%26current%3Dwaterhole.jpg
Yup, plus it makes the inevitable task of raking up the crap that's gonna land on it much easier..
