Interactive map - click on boxes to go down to images. Some of the NOLA pics produce broken links at the moment due to overload.

Found one of the breaks in the levee on the 17th street canal.

This is literally the line in NO where you are either flooded or not.

They released why the wall broke - the waves that came on top of the surge caused water to go over the wall. That erroded the ground at the base of the wall until it couldn't hold the weight of the canal anymore.
