New Orleans flooded

Yesterday it seemed that New Orleans had avoided the worst. But this morning terrible news comes of a major disaster. There have been breaches in the levee system protecting the city, with the result, says the mayor, that “We probably have 80 percent of our city under water. With some sections of our city the water is as deep as 20 feet.”
