"Up to one foot of water crept into parts of the Lower Ninth Ward overnight Sunday and into Monday morning, once again flooding Florida Avenue and parts of Jourdan Avenue. . . . Four temporary pumps - attached to two 24-inch and two 30-inch pipes - spit out dark yellow water into the Bayou Bienvenue on Monday morning, at a collective rate of 90,000 gallons of water per minute, the Corps said. The city is still not allowing residents to return to the part of the Lower Nine that was mildly flooded on Monday. National Guard troops and New Orleans police have barricaded streets where the water stood, from North
Claiborne Avenue to the pumping station."
