Hurricane Isaac has pounded the Gulf Coast area and New Orleans.  Seven years ago today, Hurricane Katrina made landfall in this area.  New Orleans suffered tremendous devastation that included a massive loss of life and property damage due to flooding.  The waters of Lake Pontchartrain topped the levees and lead to the tremendous damage from which New Orleans continues to recover. 



Currently, on August 28, 2012, the levees are in jeopardy and the waters have topped the barriers in one parish in New Orleans.
