NEW ORLEANS (CNN) -- A storm surge from Hurricane Rita topped two patched New Orleans levees Friday, leaving the city's 9th Ward immersed in floodwater as deep as 4 feet, a general who toured the area said.
"It's spreading rapidly down to the south-southeast, so they're going to have complete flooding in that area again," Maj. Gen. Bill Caldwell told CNN. Caldwell, commander of the Army's 82nd Airborne Division, said floodwater had spread across 30 to 40 city blocks by noon.
CNN photojournalist Alfredo DeLara echoed his observations. "We're talking 5 to 10 inches in the one to two minutes we were standing in this one spot," he said. "There's nothing stopping that water from just pouring in." [Read more - CNN]
