This picture was taken looking northeast from the lot.
1. The tractor trailer box on the left is flat to the ground with a dam-like
line of
rubble left by Hurricane Katrina. The tractor-trailer box might have been
pushed to make space for the road to be opened but it is flat to the ground.
It had to be the first object to arrive.
2. House in the center looks untouched, except for some roof damage.
3. House on the left lost most of its roof.
4. Two trees are leaning toward the left, or in a northwest direction.
