As I was watching the storm coverage I remember thinking how all that mattered was that the levees needed to stand strong. Any flooding due to rain, any damage due to wind, anything else the storm may throw out all paled in comparison to the possibility of a levee breaking. There was one shot the reports kept showing of the Industrial Canal Levee. This shot showed the canal was full, was overflowing actually, and that tons and tons of water was being continuously beat against the levee's cement wall -- but it stood strong through the entire storm. Thank God the levees stood strong!
From what I have heard, with only a few minor issues; such as no electricity, a slightly disturbed sewage system, and debris everywhere, N.O. seems to have weathered Gustav quite well.
Chase and I are still in Florida. We just returned yesterday from visiting with my parents and are now currently back in Tallahassee with his parents. We are not allowed, as of now, to return to our homes until Monday. The Governor is letting people back into the city, however there is a code of law enforced which states that families who live in multiple housing unit buildings (such as apts, dorms, etc) are not allowed to live in those buildings if there is no power -- which is the case for now and why we cannot return until Monday at the earliest.
