Wind, Not Rain, Flooded Venetian Isles | New Orleans News
Description
Tropical Storm Bertha didn’t bring rain—but it flooded New Orleans’ Venetian Isles with a one-to-three-foot storm surge, thanks to wind-driven water from Bayou Sauvage surging into the neighborhood’s drainage system, which funnels water back into canals. Residents, both new and longtime, braced for damage and canceled plans, though stilt homes kept interiors dry. Firefighters say streets will clear as canal levels drop—proof that coastal living means adapting to water, even when the forecast is calm.
