Reply to "Beams to New Orleans"

Le Vieux Carré, or French Quarter if you prefer, is still relatively unscathed, though locked down and mostly evacuated. It is actually above sea level, unlike most of NOLA. Some of the borderline streets were flooded like Canal Street (which indeed lived up to its name,) and Saks--not in the FQ at all,. but on Canal also-- is on fire.
The FQ stores were heavily looted though, and some bars and restaurants incredibly remained open and serving through yesterday. Now it seems all or most are shuttered, and some of its population relocated.

There's also a Times article:
