This is one of the 3 levee breaches that were hardly mentioned in the entire news watch for the New Orleans Area after Katrina. It was known that this levee was breached the night that Katrina hit the area in August 2005. The breach caused leveling and displacement of many homes immediately. However, mention of a breach was not publicized widely until the 17th Street canal breech threatened homes in more affluent areas. Attempted repair to the breaches in this area were done after the 17th street canal was secured. This information was reported from a satellite newsroom in Baton Rouge from the campus of LSU and was received as an online newscast to outside area since there were no TV stations or TVs operational in the New Orleans area during the storm. I watched the 24 hour coverage on line, and am now perhaps calm enough to relay my impressions (as a former N.O. resident) to the many who were unable to receive any information for weeks. - comment by Debra Ford This photo was part of the many made available as public news feed after the storm. Resizing for optimum transmission was done by D. Ford aka 123flickr the url for this photo page is www.flickr.com/photos/debraford123/159863981/
