jeepliberty's Journal: New Orleans - After the Flood

I just returned from New Orleans where I recovered a few items from Katrina damaged family residences then dodged Rita's wrath.

Having never experienced flood waters, the aftermath was very interesting. Some thing tend to float, then crash when the water subsides.

Wooden dressers and chests, matresses, and wooden tables tend to float. So do refrigerators to an extent.

An interesting photo is from my sisters dining room table. There is a bottle of ketchup, upside down to drain the last drops to the neck of the bottle. The table top is well below the high water mark. The table obviously floated with flood, then settled and left the topside contents relatively undisturbed; except for some nastly mold growing.

Photos of family New Orleans residences are here.
