    Only open road into New Orleans is Highway 61

    By ChrisUCLA  |  Posted August 30, 2012  |  Laplace, Louisiana
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     ChrisUCLA shot this video on Thursday, August 30, of the flooding caused by Isaac on Highway 61 in Louisiana. "It took almost two hours to get through a few miles," he says. "At several points we had to drive up on the median because the water was so deep. At one point, the water was washing to the other side of the road so hard that we were almost sure that we were going to get swept into it. I am truly amazed we made it!"
    - Anika3, CNN iReport producer

    Flooded Highway only option to enter New Orleans today from the west.
