As Hurricane Gustav threatens

to crash ashore just west of

Morgan City as a major Category

4 storm, the biggest

threat to Louisiana residents

will be catastrophic flooding

caused by storm surge, two

Louisiana State University

coastal wetlands experts said.

In the New Orleans area,

large sections of the West Bank

could see surge overtopping

pieces of a still-incomplete

levee system, and it also could

cause flooding in low-lying areas

south of Slidell and in

Madisonville, said Ivor van

Heerden, a coastal geologist

and assistant director of LSU’s

Louisiana Hurricane Center.

The Houma area could see

surge as deep as 15 feet if Gustav

keeps to its predicted path

and intensity, said coastal biologist

Robert Twilley.
