Hurricane Katrina and Rita Update 092605

Photographs show the drastic change of the new Katrina New Orleans.

New Orleans, already reeling from Hurricane Katrina, escaped the worst of the storm, but some of its poor neighborhoods flooded anew as engineers scrambled to repair weakened levees. Rescuers used boats and helicopters to reach hundreds of residents along the Lousiana coast, where the storm surge reached 15 feet.

...In New Orleans, rain drenched parts of the abandoned city early Saturday, straining the levee system damaged by Katrina and causing more flooding in already ruined and abandoned poor neighborhoods. But the forecast of up to three inches throughout the day was less than had been previously predicted. "Overall, it looks like New Orleans has lucked out," National Weather Service Meteorologist Phil Grigsby said.
