Find info on all internet news streams on the coast here.
Wonderful resource. Spread it around.

All information is subject to change. Many stations are relying on their corporate parents to configure and maintain Internet streaming. Because of the intense interest in the feeds, they may be unavailable at times because of network congestion or a problem feeding the video to the streaming servers. Links are at the end of the message.

WWL-TV New Orleans (Belo) - This station has stopped streaming and dropped all links to its live stream because of a problem feeding WWL video to the streaming server that is operated by KHOU-TV Houston (also owned by Belo). Additionally, massive bandwidth consumption caused some issues. The station will almost certainly restore video streaming once it finds a new partner to stream with and/or upgrades and restores its connection with KHOU-TV. Note that during Monday afternoon, WWL-TV was uplinked via satellite on a CBS network satellite transponder. In turn, CBS provided its own stream. That stream was discontinued around dinnertime when CBS needed its transponder back to feed video news stories back to the network and affiliated stations. CBS may resume streaming WWL, but I suspect that would be dependent on the network having access to WWL's program feed and a request by the station.

WDSU-TV New Orleans - This station evacuated from its New Orleans facilities and relocated WAPT-TV, the ABC affiliate in Jackson, MS. In an unusual arrangement, the two stations have teamed up to provide joint coverage. WDSU definitely has the stronger news team, and the Jackson station's own local coverage has benefited from this.

WKRG-TV Mobile, AL - This station is providing good coverage of the situation to the east in Mississippi and Alabama.

2. lake Ponchartrain levee break
Edited on Tue Aug-30-05 03:04 AM by blueeyedpupil
There is a new two block levee break on lake Ponchartrain side of new orleans. Apparently water is rising at a foot an hour. White caps on canal street the water is coming so fast.

Tulane university hosp on canal down town is going to have to evacuate 1000 critical patients (apparently all of them) by helicopter before the generators go under. Also charity hospital across the street is already evacuating 90 people by helicopter.

CNN says LA officials to make statement about the break within the hour.
Any one have a clue how much this water could rise from the lake, i know the lake is above sea level and new orleans below.

UPDATE THEY SAY THEY ARE DELAYING THE EVACUATION OF TULANE RIGHT NOW. CHECK CNN FOR UPDATES AS IT SEEMS TO BE CHANGING MINUTE TO MINUTE

WSDU's films last night of NOLA were frightening. With the new breach on the lake, God only knows how much worse it will get.

8. Thanks crispini. These links are our only news for the Northshore.
We got a message from our family in Lacombe,LA (northshore) that they are OK. That's allwe know. A ham radio operator called my husband's neice in KY with the message from his cousin's son in Lacombe. Apparently, all of Slidell is underwater and you can go by boat down highway 190 from Lacombe to Slidell.
:cry: This is just awful. No mention of the northshore on the MSM. Thanks again for the links. WDSU and WWLTV are doing great work.
