Tropical Storm Isaac is beginning to head west after lashing the Gulf Coast for the better part of two days. Rainfall is continuing in parts of the Gulf as the slow-moving storm continues to show its wrath. The Port of New Orleans and the city’s airport are expected to reopen today as the clean-up effort begins. New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu said the city is not yet in the clear.

Mitch Landrieu: “The game is not over until the game is over, and a lot of stuff can still happen. We know that because our past experience has concrete examples of how bad stuff has happened at this point in the storm. So it’s important for the people of New Orleans to remember, we’re just in another phase.”
