There was a levee failure on the Industrial Canal, leading to 5-6 feet of water in the Ninth Ward (which is already an impoverished area). From what I am hearing at this point, more of the flooding seems to be in areas that are older, poorer, and architecturally more interesting. I think recovery from this is going to take a *long* time.
