Summary
[edit]New Orleans, LA, August 30, 2005 -- Aerial view of some of the damage related to Hurricane Katrina the day after the hurricane hit August 29, 2005. This is the levee on the east or lower side of the Industrial Canal that has been damaged by the hurricane storm surge and/or the barge which hit the canal flood wall. The view is looking south to the Mississippi River. The Industrial Canal is in the foreground and the North Claiborne Avenue (SR39) bridge is in the right middle distance. The St. Bernard-Orleans Parish line parallels the Canal some 21 blocks distant, this being the boundry between New Orleans and Arabi, Louisiana.
The long red structure (left center) is the barge ING 4727. In the photo, it is located near the intersection of Jourdan Avenue and North Roman Street and occupies the former site of several houses. It was reported but later disproved that the barge contributed to the break in the seawall at this location. [1] [2]
Note that the water is here seen flowing OUT through the breach, from the city into the canal. Presumably by this time the level in Lake Pontchartrain had become lower than the level of flooding in the Lower 9th Ward, and flooding from St. Bernard Parish was flowing through the neighborhood into the Industrial Canal.
