(sorry for the poor image quality)

The flooding will get even worse and even deeper.

2. Wow, so is the Dome screwed too?
With the lake busted it's just going to be solid blue now isn't it?

3. The Dome is built on a foundation ~20 feet above the bottom of the bowl.
My best guess is that the field and maaaybe the lower seating areas will see some water.

5. Well that's good news because I believe they've had about enough
in there. I wonder if they'll still be able to let anyone in, presuming people can get there at all in boats or whatever, or if it's sealed.

7. From what I heard earlier,
they were letting people outside for cigarette breaks earlier. If true, then there's no seal in effect.

6. If these images are accurate, the new flooding...
could not only inundate the entire city but connect the resultant expanded lake to the river, making New Orleans mostly uninhabitable forever.

8. I assume that the red areas
are below sea level? I agree with a previous poster: this is the end of New Orleans :-( .

10. This is the end of New Orleans as we know it.

Before this levee breach, there was some hope of the water being pumped out in a shorter time period. Now..? It'll be weeks. I'm crying for my hometown tonight.

{edit: the red areas are the deepest areas of town.}

12. Some were having fun in the French Quarter last night--a bar had opened.
Bill O. said---there will always be 'that element" after a newscaster made a comment that there suspose to be a curfew.

Newscaster are the new moral police.

13. Fox News. They are Liars.
I would not trust them with the time of day. Thanks for posting this though.
