CNN's live reporting is saying that some levees in New Orleans have been overtopped by water. And in a nearby county, some levees have actually broken.
The good news however is that the hurricaine has weakened to a Category 1 with 80-mph winds.
Also; (CNN) -- "Entergy, the largest provider of electric power in Louisiana, said that more than 700,000 homes and businesses were without power in the region, including at least 114,000 in New Orleans. Repair crews may not get out until Wednesday because of high winds, spokesman Phil Allison said."
