Re: Gustav Approaching Louisiana, Hanna Slowly Drifting Westward

Wow...they just showed a person in the Industrial Canal trying to secure a propane tank. They are saying that 2 boats and a loose barge bumping into the sewer and water systems in that canal. The water is now beginning to overlap the levee in the Lower 9th Ward.
Also...FNC reporting that huge waves are now overlapping the Hardee Canal levee. They are witnessing this on a local news station who has a camera focused directly on that levee.
News is breaking so fast with these levees that I am literally typing them as I listen to them report this.
