NEW ORLEANS - (KRT) - Flood-ravaged sections of New Orleans were inundated again Friday as rising water driven by approaching Hurricane Rita sent Lake Pontchartrain pouring over a damaged levee.

Neighborhoods that had been drained of polluted floodwater only days before were submerged again by early afternoon. Several feet of water covered much of the Ninth Ward and spread through the Arabi and Chalmette neighborhoods. In some low-lying areas, the water was as high as 8 feet.

Although Rita is another kick to the head for those in the area, the Ninth ward was toast anyway. Nothing much will be left after they buldoze the area of all houses that are totalled. Sucks for them to see it again though.
