I took my husband into the City today to show him the devastation in parts of the City that know no socio-economic or racial boundaries. He was stunned at what he saw. I had already been there so I was immune to numbness; just awe. Thus far Katrina is responsible for the death of 1,032 people in Louisiana.
Look at the water line on these houses where water sat for several weeks. The orange markings were made by military and police rescue teams who searched each house twice or three times for living or dead. It was not a nice job, particularly when two bodies at a time would be found in a house.
