This is Interstate 10. If you have visited New Orleans, and you traveled by air, you have probably been through here. It is the I-10 underpass near the Metairie cemetaries. You can see the "Airport" sign over the lanes on the left. Florida Blvd is the exit you would take if you were going to go over to Coop's house. There is a "ruler" on the bridge support on the left to tell approaching cars how deep the water is. I think it goes to 10 feet. It is entirely submerged. There is a new pumping station that was built specifically to take care of this area, but it overheated and shutdown, then was submerged in water.
