New Orleans neighborhoods

Here is a link to a photo album of shots taken by a New Orleans native who was involved in both checking on personal property and then with the boat rescues. It has some scenes of regular neighborhoods that didn't really make it to the major media. These photos seem to be from within the week the hurricane hit.
I'm praying this week in a particular way for the people who will be going home to see the damage to their own property for the first time. For some, there will be nothing salvageable; even for those who can eventually dig out, the task may be overwhelming. It's going to be especially difficult for the elderly, the widows on fixed incomes, people with no living family members.
