Waters recede after Isaac floods hit Louisiana coast
Floodwaters from Isaac receded in Belle Chasse and nearby towns as power returned and businesses opened ahead of the holiday weekend. Mitt Romney visited flood-ravaged Lafitte while President Obama planned a Monday arrival. Six people were killed in Mississippi and Louisiana. Romney and Gov. Jindal spoke with residents and officials about rebuilding levees and flood protection. Rescue crews aided stranded residents as areas outside major levee systems faced new flood risks. The Mississippi River eased to limited traffic and New Orleans restaurants and neighborhoods revived some normalcy.
