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! Posted by Picasa

A random boat that made it about two miles inland. Posted by Picasa

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. Posted by Picasa

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. Posted by Picasa

This is another spot on the water where someone is breaking groud to rebuild. Posted by Picasa

There was a house built way high on this foundation, at one time. Now they've snuck the fema trailer right in there. Posted by Picasa

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? Posted by Picasa

This one slid off the foundation and then the roof was caught by a single tree branch. Posted by Picasa

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. Posted by Picasa

This is mainly the bottom floor of a two story house. Posted by Picasa

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! Posted by Picasa

If you look closesly, the whole bottom floor of these condos was wiped out by water. Posted by Picasa

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. Posted by Picasa

The structure that was raised above the edge of this pond, is now in the pond surrounded by all the debris. Posted by Picasa

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! Posted by Picasa

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! Posted by Picasa

Debris Debris everywhere Debris Posted by Picasa

This is an apartment complex whose roof was blown off. Posted by Picasa
