after the flood

Yesterday I drove around the Lower Ninth Ward and Gentilly, two areas submerged by the flooding from Katrina. The 9th ward was like a ghost town. Streets of empty houses, and no one around. In one area, I saw a FEMA trailer park on what looked like a church lot.

In Gentilly, I happened across what looks like damage from the tornado that swept through here last week. (If that's the case, the city was quick to put the power lines back up.) You're looking at a wrecked FEMA trailer.

This city can't catch a break.
