I am sure that most of you have heard about the 9th ward by now if you have watched the coverage of Katrina. Well, yesterday I went into the finally dry 9th ward to estimate some emergency work for a few of our historical church's. I took a ton of pics while I was there and I thought I would share em with ya'll.

Most where taken from my truck so sorry for the quality but I wasn't gettin out of my truck unless I absolutly had too. Aside from it being down right creepy and desolate there are packs of wild dogs running around and the smell is beyond horrible.



Someones house in the neighbors front yard.



Used to be someones house.



Tree's did a ton of damage too. I had to actually hook a chain to a few and pull em out of my way.



Can you believe this?? Its like the entire house imploded.



Jackson Baracks. Looks like the structures made out pretty well though.



They ran out of things to use for road blocks, so they started grabbing flooded cars with gradalls. Gotta love how us coonasses can improvise a situation.



Thats a relativly new school. Multiple walls are simply blown out.



Amazing.



Looks like it was split in two.




I have a ton more but didn't want to bore ya too much. The devestation is unreal. There are a HUGE number of neighborhoods and entire zip codes that simply have to be bulldozed.
