I can't believe this one is still up there and hasn't slid off yet. The sad thing is that the valuables inside may have made it through the storm, but they can't go in there and get anything out!
A random boat that made it about two miles inland.
This poor house sits on the canal and is full of other people's debris- their actual house didn't appear to have much damage.
Here a crane is in a canal that separates the water front homes from another subdivision and he has pulled out someones houseboat from the canal.
This is another spot on the water where someone is breaking groud to rebuild.
There was a house built way high on this foundation, at one time. Now they've snuck the fema trailer right in there.
This amazing house stands directly over the water raised about 20 feet. Miraculously, it weathered the storm only losing some siding and the main steps that lead to the front door. Now how does that happen?
This one slid off the foundation and then the roof was caught by a single tree branch.
This one slid off it's raised foundation.
This is a spot where a huge waterfront home once stood, now it's leveled and behind it you can see some of the luckier ones.
Got FEMA?
This is mainly the bottom floor of a two story house.
This was all of the docks going out into lake ponchatrain (facing New Orleans). These people once had a private, peaceful, beautiful waterfront piece of property!
If you look closesly, the whole bottom floor of these condos was wiped out by water.
Here some brave soul is rebuilding a very tall house right on the waters edge, I'm telling you it's a sight to see fresh bright wood, when everything around it is dead or dying.
The structure that was raised above the edge of this pond, is now in the pond surrounded by all the debris.
Down by the waters edge, every crevas is filled with debris- in the woods, in the water, on the streets- this one even has a little house in it!
This one is right on a little inlet of water, and because of that the storm surge (about 20+ feet of water) just tore right through it!
Debris Debris everywhere Debris
This is an apartment complex whose roof was blown off.
