Willliams Boulevard in Kenner is flooded north of I-10 to just before the lake levee, officials said.
That's on the west side. So flooding on either side of the Quarter. (And mind, the whole thing is surrounded by water.) That's not so good
Kenner is in Jefferson Parish. See my post above on grassy neutral grounds vs. concrete neutral grounds.
I'm still gonna hold out hope that the part of the city I knew (Uptown through the Quarter) isn't getting hit too bad.

From what I've read, uptown isn't getting hit that badly.
I finished up interviewing people for an open web/graphic designer position today. You know what makes me happy? When they know what CSS is.
I'm watching the WWL feed. They just showed a guy who drove into water on I-10 because "he didn't see it." The water had to be 15 feet deep. How do you not see that?
That overpass is right by my parents' house.

Timelies. Finally got caught up here after my long weekend away.
I got the rest of my furniture in my new place. It only took me 7 months. I really hope I can stay in this place for at least a year or two.
Anyway, lots of vibes heading the direction of NOLA. That's scary stuff.

If there was a dip in the road, and he started out on top of it.

I can understand that, actually. When rain is not only lowering visibility but turning everything a uniformly gray color, and the rest of the road has lots of water on it anyway, it can be difficult to tell "road covered in water" from "lots and lots of water because the road goes down here and the water does not!"
WWL == CBS affiliate in NOLA. They've been broadcasting on the internets 24/7 during the storm.
