The pictures below are NOT the specific address that "likesmountains 52" is interested in.
For security reasons, "likesmountains 52" did not openly post the exact address, but one that is from the neighborhood. "likesmountains 52" PMed me the exact address, and I have sent pictures of the residence of concern via E-Mail. The pictures posted below are from the general neighborhood.
If anyone else wants pictures from a particular address, please follow the same procedure.



This residence is in the general area of 4600 Prieur.
This area is a mess. Electricity is still unavailable, but the area is accessible, and some people are returning for belongings and salvage. It will be months before any of this area is inhabitable.

Meet Will and Grace (names changed by request).
They are (were) long term residents and home owners in New Orleans East. They were allowed to return to their home yesterday for the first time since Katrina. Grace had hoped to be able to retrieve some family dishes and "knick knacks" but were unable to do so because of mud, mold, and a collapsed ceiling.
Grace shrugged her shoulders and said, "Everything is just gone. Everything."

Will is a "Union Man" and a Kerry/Edwards supporter (see his T-Shirt). He worked the same "Union Job" for "over 25 years", and was very concerned about the direction of the country under the Republicans. "Somebody's gotta do something! We can't take much more of this!" Will said the only reason he agreed to allow me take his picture was because of the "Democrat" (DU) bumper sticker on my car.

After visiting their ruined home, Will and Grace drove to this area to help their daughter.
The residence in the background is a rental occupied by their daughter and her children.The debris piled on the curb is most of their belongings. The flood water here reached 6'. The daughter was not as "stoic" as her parents. She alternated between sobbing, arguing with her parents, and throwing items in frustration and anger. She did not want to be photographed.
They are trying to "dry out" and load up as much as possible in the car. They don't know where they are going go after loading the car.
Will said they will probably be able to stay with some friends if they can find them.
