Katrina recovery

There are still reminders of Katrina in this city...
This home, with Landmark Designation because of its elegant painted interiors, still has the red sprayed notations on the right front pillar of the home, which was made by Search and Rescue Teams after the disaster hit. The 0 on the bottom of the notation indicates that there were zero dead inside the home. The 10/2 indicates the date the search was made...which was a month AFTER Katrina hit...
it took that long because of the water, the amount of devastation and the overwhelming number of places that needed to be searched.
