Isaac Scrapes Louisiana as Katrina Anniversary Passes
Hurricane Isaac spared New Orleans with a westward path and reduced rain, while slamming rural fishing villages. The storm knocked out power to about 700,000, prompted evacuations in Plaquemines Parish, and forced a planned puncture of a floodwall to relieve pressure. Rescues were ongoing as authorities warned of lingering flood risks and curfews remained in effect.
