I helped my daughter move out of of a dorm room in New Orleans 6 weeks after Katrina.
They had signs posted to please "Do Not open" the refridgerators. The water had been 3.5 feet deep on the ground floor. She said that she saw a picture on the news of her old car.....just the roof was above the water. She pushed the car to the street so the city would pick it up.
I figured I got about 7 mpg going up to Baton Rouge pulling this trailer. Took 3 of us 5 hours to pack up and load everything..... and it was a hot day. Took a tour of New Orleans on the way out....what a sight. Trash piled up along almost every street.
