Re: Katrina Aftermath

Re the I-10 bridges... I've been to NO several times and was just there a few months ago. I know the highways and bodies of water, but heck if I know Parish boundaries!

So I looked it up. Here's the Orleans Parish, top right hand is St Tammany Parish. So that bridge is the one that is on the east side of town.

Orleans Parish

This and Google Maps should give y'all a better idea of what's where.

Oh http://www.enlou.com/no/no-neighborhoods_map.htm is a neighborhood map. Kinda weird to use.

eta ... The Mayor said it was the Twin Spans - which I think is not I-10 but the Crescent City Connection - the other bridge of the lake.

The Hi Rise - which I'm pretty sure is a bridge on I-10 has been hit by a barge and has to be checked for integrity
