It was fairly low right before the storm. It also, ususally recedes pretty quickly after these storms just because of its sheer volume.
Unfortunately, Ponchatrain levees breaching is really all it takes to submerge the city. I have heard almost nothing about efforts to fix the levee at the 17th street canal.
I have several friends who live near there whose homes have to be completely submerged by now.
