These are photos of the marina area of
New Orleans. It was very hard hit. The
marinas are, necessarily, on the outside
of the levee system. The hurricane winds,
estimated at about 120 mph, came from
the North, pressing an estimated 12 feet
of water as storm surge, on top of which
were tremendously rough sea conditions.
Wave height above the storm surge was
considerable.
Here are just a few photos showing the
effects of homes submerged for a
month.
