As I blogged on Friday, an evacuatee from New Orleans reported that a barge had breached the 17th Street levee canal, which led to much speculation both here and on other sites. Within the past few days, a couple more reports have mentioned a barge being involved in a breach of not the 17th Street levee but the Industrial Canal levee, though no photographic evidence of such an event was available.
Until today that is.
This image has been both cropped and reduced in both size and quality for this entry. However, you can look at the original by going through the link at the bottom of this entry. It is a rather large picture of the area taken on August 31, so it will take time for it to display.
While it isn't conclusive proof that said barge breached that levee, it does lend a bit more weight to that theory. And again, I am willing to concede that there may be other explanations for what is shown in this picture.
