A flooded New Orleans home with only its rooftop visible above the floodwaters, surrounded by tree branches and the roofs of neighboring houses in the background.

This is my home on 38th St (less than 1 block away from the 17th St Canal) in New Orleans after the 17th St Canal levee broke and flooded the city. This photo was taken on 8/30/05 as Search & Rescue was being performed by the NOFD. The water reached into the attic.
