A row of discarded refrigerators wrapped with tape lines a sidewalk beside parked cars, with piles of debris, trash bags, and cardboard in the foreground and apartment buildings in the background.

At Bent Tree Village apartment complex, Port Arthur, more than half of the buildings sustained damage and were unihabitable. This is a line of "dead fridges" removed from apartments after nearly 3 weeks without power. Between the garbage piling up and the rotting food, the stench was overwhelming.
