"Meteorologists said the Mississippi River could rise to 19 feet by the weekend, just a foot short of the height of the city's aging levees.
'Even though I grew up with Midwestern tornadoes and summer storms, this was next level in terms of the absolute deluge of water coming down so fast,' Ellen Austin, a high school teacher from California who was in town for a convention, told NBC affiliate WDSU of New Orleans.
'The water just came up in the streets in what felt like no time at all,' Austin said. 'And we have been cut off, with doors blocked with towels to keep water out, since this morning. It's been a bit surreal.'
A waterspout, a kind of a tornado that forms over a body of water, was spotted over Lake Pontchartrain, WDSU reported."
