NASA Photos of Katrina Damage
 

Click on the boxes to see close up look at damage Katrina did to shoreline. Looks just as bad if not worse than Tsunami damage in Indian Ocean.

Hurricane Damage

On a side note, expect death toll to reach 5,000+. This is easily becoming the greatest natural disaster in US history.

That site would be really interesting if it didn't include the worst.interface.ever.

I may be wrong, we'll see in a few days, but I doubt the toll gets to 5,000. In dollar terms, yes, it might be the biggest ever, but I doubt this will exceed the Galveston 1900 disaster, which was 5,000.

Without all the warnings we had, it might have been worse. But I think it'll exceed Camille.

Wikipedia says the death toll in the Galveston Hurricane was between 6,000 to 12,000 people; official reports citing 8,000 most frequently...

Actually, I was being conservative w/ the 5,000. Galvaston had 6,000 die from the storm surge. Honestly, I think it will be in the 10 to 15,000 range. FEMA has been saying for years that in a best case scenario, 40,000 would die in NO alone if a Cat. 4 or 5 hit the city. CNN is already reporting that computer models are showing that up to 100,000 may have been killed when all is said and done. This disaster is beyond the scope any of us have seen in the US. Each day the news gets worse and worse, and most don't see or understand the gravity of it. Think about it; in less than 24 hours the 35th largest city in the US was rendered inhabitable. Nothing like that has ever been seen in modern times.
