This storm is like a wall of heavy rain heading towards them.. Flooding will be expected and hopefully the levees will hold the water this time "
The levees are not the problem in NO in heavy rain. The levees hold out the Mississippi and Lake Ponchitain. The flooding comes with heavy rain whe the pumps can't handle large amounts, and can't pump it out fast enough. NO should be fine. The test there will be the first storm with a storm surge...thats the culprit...we are still down 15-20 inches in rainfall here in Pcola...this rain is welcome
