Metairie and New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina - 10.23.05

These photos, I hope, will explain a lot to you about how devastating all of this has been for Louisiana. My comments are added to provide more explanation about what happened and what my thoughts were when I saw this. However, what you can't understand from this photo or my words is what the mold smelled like here and everywhere we went.
