LAKE CHARLES, La. - Storm surge driven by Hurricane Ike breached
levees in coastal Louisiana Friday and flooded hundreds of homes in
areas along the Gulf of Mexico still recovering from Gustav.

About 1,800 homes and business flooded in coastal Cameron Parish as
the storm churned toward expected landfall in Texas, said Gov. Bobby
Jindal, and he expected water to eventually inundate all 2,900 homes
in the area. Flooded homes were reported in other parishes, though
numbers were sketchy at nightfall.

Flooding was reported in areas from Plaquemines Parish in southeast
Louisiana to Cameron Parish on the Texas line.

"It's going to be devastating for people," said Cameron Parish
emergency preparedness director Clifton Hebert. "We don't have the
wind that Rita brought, but we have at least the same storm surge, if
not a little more."

In nearby Terrebonne Parish, crews worked to plug at least four
breaches. Officials said areas in which Rita inundated 10,000 homes in
2005 were vulnerable again.

More than 160 people were rescued from flooding Friday, Jindal said.

About 130 people remained in the fishing community on the barrier
island of Grand Isle after storm surge cut off the only road to the
mainland, said Gov. Bobby Jindal.

Jindal said search and rescue teams would head to the island as soon
as wind abated and water receded.

He told residents they could break into a state wildlife and fisheries
lab that was deemed a safe structure. He called it "the most unusual
piece of advice I might give."

More than 100,000 customers were without electricity Friday night, a
number that also included some customers who lost power in Gustav, the
Louisiana Public Service Commission said.

Would someone who was born in the Republic of
Texas have been eligible to be President or
VP?

In all fairness: the Whigs never got to test
out that principle.
