this is where the levee broke at the 17th Street Canal. |
Foundation's washed away across the street from one of the levee breaks |
this yard had been cleaned up by the time I got there... December 17th.. I saw many trees like this one, knocked over with the roots hanging out |
Note the water line at mid-door level here |

this is the FEMA "blue roof" you're lucky if you qualify for one. I've heard 10s of thousands were given out, but for reasons of red tape, the supply is there, but people just aren't getting them... |
