Imagery: Stories: Hurricane Katrina

In late August, 2005, Hell came to the Gulf Coast in the form of a deadly and ferocious hurricane. It destroyed much of the storied city of New Orleans and killed nearly 2,000 people. After the evacuations, what remained was a watery ghost town, filled with eerie landmarks of what came before, and who was washed away. Within three weeks, all that remained was mud and a stench I will never forget.
