Coast Guard officials have been dispatched to the Industrial Canal to check on reports that a pair of barges are drifting loose in the channel, a top official for Gov. Bobby Jindal who is embedded at City Hall said at 9 a.m., Nola.com is reporting.
Here are nola.com's photos of Gustav.
Mark Potter of MSNBC is reporting at 10:52 a.m. Eastern that water is overflowing the west side of the Industrial Canal in the upper 9th ward, but there is no evidence of any breaches in the levy. Water is overflowing the canal "over a length of about seven rail cars."
"It looks like a lot of wind pushing water over it."
