Sounds like parts of the city are whammied, and parts will be able to cope.
I'm going to guess when all is said and done, it'll be both all over -- everyplace will be whammied, and every one will cope. The flooding has only just begun, as far as I can tell.
Evil earworm begins: "We've only just begun ... to flooooood ..."
Damn you Jesse!
Whoops. Sorry.
East side of New Orleans under 5 to 6 feet of water
Oops - that's the Quarter/Marigny side. Unless it's up by the lake.

What I heard is 9th Ward, which my dad describes as "Franklin Avenue to St. Bernard, most of New Orleans East."
Okay, just saw some more live video footage from New Orleans. Streets are flooded, windows blown out, trees are down. But the water level isn't that high yet. It's definitely going to be damaged - it's just not apocalyptic. They showed all the outer layer of the Superdome where it'd peeled off. They're not worried about structural damage in the Dome but the people inside are getting pretty wet.
Dana, your family didn't evacuate to any of the other areas that are now threatened, right?

That's north and east of the Quarter, for those of you unfamiliar with the area.

They're in Jackson and Vicksburg, MS. They'll be getting some heavy winds later today. The bigger concern is the family house that's on the coast near Bay St. Louis, which was destroyed by Camille.
I was only in NOLA for maybe 72 hours, but hearing about and seeing the destruction makes me cry. I fell in love with that city and am sad it won't be quite the same when I go back.
