Hurricane Katrina: A Tour in Photos
The Daily Green Community documents this powerful story.

Hurricane Katrina: Table Service
It is hard to understand that two years after the hurricane, the flowers are still let on the tables in this restaurant. Within feet of each other, one room can be totally devastated while another has an eerie edge of normality remaining, if soiled at the edges. Kenilworth Shopping Center. New Orleans, Louisiana, USA July 7th, 2007
Ninth Ward
Devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina. 02/02/06Ai Loan Nguyen-Kropp
The Lost World: Return and Rebuild
Photo taken a year and a half after Hurricane Katrina and the levee catastrophe that drowned an entire American city. There are no trailers, no signs of FEMA, no construction crews or anyone around at all. This is the Lost World. Lower 9th Ward, New Orleans, LA May 2007
Hazardous Material
Because of the wide-spread devastation in the New Orleans area, many fire hydrants were left running adding more water to an already drenched city. Lower 9th Ward, New Orleans, LA 12-18-05Stacey M. Warnke
Post-Katrina Relief: Two Years On
All that remains of many houses in the Lower 9th Ward: concrete front steps leading nowhere. In the background the draw bridge over the Industrial Canal that connects this area with the rest of the city. 07/26/07
Hurricane Katrina: Trolley cars in downtown
Not all of New Orleans is waiting for repair. It seems that the more upmarket or tourist areas appear like nothing happened at all. New Orleans, Louisiana, USA July 7, 2007
Katrina Reflected
Since this photo was taken, there is just mud. Everything has been hauled away. 12-18-05 Lower 9th Ward, New Orleans, LAStacey M. Warnke
A common sight in St. Bernard
I found this boat upon my arrival to Louisiana in February 2006. The floods after Hurricane Katrina-- in August 2005--brought it there, and still, come August 2006, the boat sat in the median, lost in the higher priorities of rebuilding a wrecked coastline. The entire parish, 25,000 homes, were flooded after Hurricane Katrina. St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana February 2006
Returning
This woman had to swim out of this house a week earlier after a thiry foot tidal surge caused its collapse. Ocean Springs, MS 09/05/05
Devastation of Hurricane Katrina
A home still somewhat standing, but now completely destroyed. Notice the washing machine hanging out the bottom left hand side of the house! 12/20/05leave a comment
