New Orleans, May 11.-New Or
leans has just had ihe severest rain
storm in her history. All the lower
half of Louisiana was affected and
thousands of persons who live behind
the already terribly strained levees
that held back the Mississippi flood
waters are panicky.
The wind ranged from 81 miles an
hour at New Orleans to 49 miles at
Baton Rogue, and at many points
along the river it swept the waves of
the swollen stream over the levees.
At New Orleans, five and one half
inches of rain fell in eight hours. The
Mississippi river here was banked
up by the high winds and rose eight
inches in two hours last night, forcing
the water over the levees at severa,
points.
The streets of New Orleans were
flooded as never in the history of the
city. In the upper part of the city
water was six to seven inches deep
on the sidewalks. In the down town
business section, Canal street and all
the intersecting streets were flooded
over the sidewalks and the water en-
tered the stores on a number of
streets
The rains and winds are general
over section extending about 100
miles up the river. At Baton Rogue
and New Roads the situation is par
ticu!arly grave.
