Dec. 27, 2005 - 121 days after Katrina, approximately 40% of New Orleans is still without power. We turned off our headlightss and took a final look from Franklin Avenue down the 2600 and 2700 blocks of Clover St. in Gentilly where we had just been. This is the same view as you saw in image 0002, but without our headlights turned on. This image is an accurate account of what this area in Gentilly really looks like right now after sunset. Normally, if there was power in the area, you\'d see two blocks of houses on the left and right of this photo. The only lights in the distance are two blocks away from us atop the I-10 overpass. As national and world news stories begin to cover more recent disasters across the world, don\'t forget about us. It\'s still dark in New Orleans!
