Ty and I toured 4 main areas of devastation around the city. They are all large areas that were once inhabited by thousands of people. I'll show 3 of those area today. My pictures can not even begin to do justice to the horrors that happened or the pain these people must feel. I only hope that I can open your eyes to see that part of our United States has been severly damaged. I think you should realize (even if you can't do anything) that there is pain and suffering happening in your neck of the woods. The southern part of your United States looks like a war zone.
New Orleans CBD and the Mid-City area:
This is Brad's house. The spray paint won't come off. No one checked his house until September 12th. That's almost 2 full weeks after the storm. Is it because no one could get there? 
This is a truck that belong's to Brad's neighbor. The sign expresses views similar to what I heard all over the city. The spray paint on the house behind it is also unsettling.
Water lines like these are evident all over the city. They are so depressing. Also notice those dead cars I was talking about in my previous blog entry.
Notice the water lines on St. Dominic's Church. I had my ring ceremony and my graduation mass there.
A common site in and around the city. The wind damage was surprising, so much focus was on the water but the wind was pretty nasty as well.
It was hard to see Alexis's house just deserted. Seeing her front door left wide open was heartbreaking.
This is the Hyatt downtown. This building got a lot of media coverage. The sign hides most of the blown out glass. Hopefully the sign is true and the good times will roll again.
This is the Fairmount Hotel New Orleans. A gorgeous building with many famous memories and traditions. It is currently on life support.
