QUOTES:
NEW ORLEANS - Tropical Storm Bill drenched the Gulf Coast on Tuesday,
forcing evacuations along the water, swamping the streets of New Orleans'
French Quarter and prompting crews to slam shut the floodgates protecting
the low-lying, saucer-shaped city.

Up to a foot of rain was forecast in areas already saturated from previous
storms. Pascagoula, Miss., got 8 inches of rain by noon.

Bill the second tropical storm of the year had sustained wind of about 60
mph, well short of the 74 mph hurricane threshold. It spread rain across
southeastern Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.

Water rose above the curbs in the French Quarter, and streets, bars and
restaurants were empty. Municipal crews were sent out to slide floodgates
into place in the levees surrounding the city, most of which is below sea
level. City offices and universities closed early.
