the houses in the picture above were originally located ACROSS the canal. The surge picked them up and deposited them across the water.
they had just finished building this state of the art activities center at the college. The mold below is where the water settled... about 6-8 feet up
The hardest hit area that I have seen so far is what is exactly the same as the service area for Nunez community college. Although they serve several parishes (counties) every parish they serve was hit both by Katrina and by the levee breach. The staff at Nunez are AMAZING. They have started the recovery effort themselves but working diligently the last 5 months to clean up and rebuild their own campus so they could begin classes and get on with some kind of normalcy for their students. I was so moved and impressed for the community and family atmosphere that the staff have for each other and for their students. They were seriously knocked down but have refused to stay down and are back up and fighting to restore their campus and the programs that they were offering their students to be productive citizens in their community. They really need a lot of support.
