After 10:00 pm August 28, 2005: LSU Analyzes Advisory, Issues Revised Flooding, Damage Predictions

The LSU Hurricane Center supercomputer generates new models based on the National Hurricane Center’s 10:00 pm advisory. LSU’s revised models indicate that the storm surge outside the levee system will be 16-18 feet in eastern Orleans Parish (reduced from the earlier estimated 20 feet). The revised model continues to predict extensive flooding in Plaquemines, St. Bernard, and eastern Orleans parishes. [Times-Picayune Blog, 8/29/2005]
