I was asking about a top 5 US earlier. Is this #2/3 in modern US history? Behind Andrew/Katrina? 

Katrina, Harvey, Maria, that storm that shall not be named in the Mid-Atlantic/NE area, and Irma if you are talking about $$$ damages are the top five I think.  This would need to be over 50 billion.

Slidell PD spokesman on WWL saying that this is far worse than anyone anticipated. And the live shot is showing some pretty bad conditions.

Intense feeder bands have been training over that general area for hours, and will probably continue doing so for a while. Sames goes for areas getting the eastern eyewall (like Hammond), the flash flooding will ultimately turn into significant river flooding for some areas.

He's probably going by by normalized damage, which puts Katrina, Andrew, and Maria at 1, 2 , 3

The sudden backbuilding of that band is quite something.

I was a teenager during Katrina, did the levees initially fail in outlying areas before they failed in New Orleans? Is a similar chain of events happening here?

no they failed in the city proper but it did take a good, long time for the word to get out.  It was basically like this until they managed to get a chopper up and then the world could see that the levees had failed.

The storm is moving more and to the NW now...will these bands shift over NO? or will they die out?
