Water is "waist deep and rising fast."  

"Our worst fears came true," a National Guard official said. "The levee will breach if we keep on the path we are on right now."

Live Data from a buoy in the lake pontchartrain is available here (takes about 30 sec. to load). The water level is 1 feet above normal.
