Aftermath of Katrina in Chalmette, LA

#1 Postby KatDaddy » Wed Oct 05, 2005 8:05 am

My co-worker's family is from Chalmette, LA and they were hit very hard by the flooding. His grandmothers home had 4ft of water over the peak of the house. The photos around 100 show what it looks inside the home after the floodwaters had receded. Truley amazing to see the aftermath. It just bring back home again

I spent the weekend stomping around in the muck near Michoud Boulevard/Six Flags. Water is still at 1-3 feet there, and in lower lying areas, up to 4 feet. It is DISGUSTING.
