Just a cool looking tree stump, i like my trees
The water stripped this tree of its bark, you can make out the water line on it -- its the horizontal brown lines
this is one of the levees that breeched, the cement is the old leve, the steel to the left of it is the beginnings of the new levee
this house and the ground under neath it used to be 40 feet closer to the levee, that would be into the picture
water line and ruined clothes
ripple!! this is sand that was deposited by the flooding water, this is the top of about a 4 ft pile of sand on the porch of a house
poor bike ;(
barnicles... this was definitly under water
