Terrible news for the residents down there, but, unfortunately, it’s not surprising. I just hope that the people evacuated early. Seems like it was overtopping of the Braithwaite levee as opposed to a breach. Probably have to wait until tomorrow to get clarification.
Wind and rain in the Metro is still pretty fierce with power outages very widespread here. Damage to buildings in the FQ. About 600,000 without power. Updated the rain totals in post #37.
edit: 22 barges have broken loose in the River:
