'if it keeps on rainin', the levy's gonna break'
this neighborhood is (was) right next to the levy. the barge in the pictures below broke through the levy, along with the millions of gallons of water that caused this destruction. whole neighborhood blocks were washed away nearest the break.
further away, houses were lifted from foundations and pushed into other houses. some came down on top of cars when the water receded. some came to rest on other houses. everything is caked with mud.
the area is cordoned off by the military. armed checkpoints, barricades keep everyone out. tour buses with police escort vehicles bring residents in small groups to see if their homes survived. not many did. cadaver dog teams are still searching.
