We crossed the south eastern corner of Lake Ponchatrain on I10 and entered New Orleans where the city took the brunt of the flooding from hurricane Katrina. It was shocking to see the lasting damage from that storm six years ago. Neighborhoods were littered with abandoned homes with missing roofs. Some areas were just piles of debris,houses bulldozed and waiting for disposal. Commercil buildings stood boarded up and the sense of a deep irrectractable poverty was palpable. It was disturbing to see.
Notice the altitude on our Garmin. Maybe not such a good place to build homes.
