Six Months Since Katrina

Six Months Since Katrina

A person sits on a concrete barrier beneath a guardrail, wearing a hooded jacket and cap, surrounded by plastic milk crates, garbage bags, and clothing, with a plastic bag held in their hands.

Broad Street Overpass

Group of people gathered on an overpass with belongings and a makeshift tent of white sheets covering two infants, with a city skyline and rooftops visible in the background.

Family Tents

A woman sits on a concrete step beside a railing, resting her arm on a dark bag, wearing a patterned short-sleeve shirt and light skirt with sandals.

Mary

Elevated roadway strewn with litter and debris, lined with seated evacuees in orange prison jumpsuits, as floodwater submerges the street and buildings in the distance.

Inmate Evacuation

Water-damaged bookshelves with warped, mildewed books line a stained wall, while fallen books and a rolled-up rug lie scattered on the floor below.

Library

Damaged two-story house with a wooden deck detached and collapsing, surrounded by debris, broken railings, and a large palm frond in the foreground.

Backyard

Corner of a house with a decorative security door, showing a visible flood waterline and spray-painted rescuer markings reading "CA 9-10," "DOG NOT FOUND 10-1," and "F/W."

House Front

Left: flooded kitchen with water-stained cabinets, open drawers, and items scattered on counters near a gas stove. Right: same kitchen later, showing a refrigerator toppled face-down amid debris and boxes.

Kitchen

Two photos of a wooden dining room buffet with blue-patterned plates displayed above; left shows the piece surrounded by dark floodwater, right shows the aftermath with warped wood, grime, and a damaged chair.

Other view in Dining Room

Before-and-after views of a dining room: furniture piled atop a table to escape rising floodwater, then overturned chairs, tables, and debris scattered in mud after the flood receded.

Dining Room Damage

Floodwater submerges a city street lined with buildings and utility poles, with debris floating on the surface and a partially legible "NO TRE..." sign visible on a wall in the background.

More flooding

View from a balcony railing over rooftops toward Bank Street, with standing floodwater visible among bare trees, utility poles, and lines between houses.
