St. Bernard Parish

St. Bernard Parish, originally uploaded by tewold.

Here are some houses that didn't survive the onslaught of the storm surges. It is in St. Bernard Parish, the hardest hit area around New Orleans. The levee had been built to hold back 20 foot waves and Katrina produced 30 foot waves. So many homes in this area were wiped out. However, several blocks away from the levees, the majority of the homes are salvageable. We worked for two 1/2 days in one such home.
