Isaac becomes a hurricane as it heads toward New Orleans

 

Los Angeles Times | August 28, 2012 | 9:54 AM
Isaac became a hurricane today, the National Weather Service said, as the storm moves toward New Orleans, where residents hunkered down behind levees fortified after Katrina struck seven years ago this week.
Forecasters say Isaac could make landfall in southeast Louisiana tonight or early Wednesday and could flood the coasts of four states with storm surge and heavy rains. Shelters were open in some regions. With the exception of some low-lying areas, however, officials had not ordered mass evacuations.
