Hurricane Isaac goes ashore in the state of Louisiana and drops several inches of rain on the area. The levees in one parish have been breached and the National Guard is in rescue mode as the residents are threatened by flood water.
Isaac is a large, slow moving hurricane and at last report was moving at only 7 miles per hour. This gives the storm the ability to unleash a torrential rainfall on the areas and cause flooding that a faster moving storm may not have caused.
