Isaac avoids direct hit as New Orleans dodges worst
Isaac skirted New Orleans on Wednesday, spared the city major damage while rural fishing communities faced flooding. One death reported in Louisiana, with thousands evacuated or stranded in Plaquemines and Jefferson parishes as a 18 mile levee faced levee strain and crews planned to pierce the floodwall to relieve pressure. National Guard rescues continued and curfews were ordered in several areas.
