Water released from Isaac-stressed dam

Residents survey flood damage in Lafitte, La., on Thursday,, Aug. 30, 2012, a day after Hurricane Isaac hit the area near New Orleans. Isaac, downgraded to a depression Thursday, staggered toward north Louisiana, its weakening winds still potent enough to drive storm surge into portions of the coast and the River Parishes between New Orleans and Baton Rouge.
