US-KATRINA ANNIVERSARY-NOLA-RECONSTRUCTION
Patrons dance to live music in a courtyard beside emergency shelter trailers, at the Parkway Bakery and Tavern in New Orleans, 08 July 2006. With the area damaged heavily in flooding by Katrina, most people are still not living in their own homes, but music and their local tavern draws them back to their old neighborhood to meet friends and enjoy the music for which New Orleans is famous. A year after the costliest disaster in US history nearly wiped out this cultural mecca, New Orleans is struggling to rebuild its shattered soul. More than half the population is still scattered across the country. Entire neighborhoods remain abandoned to the mold and misery left behind by floodwaters that swamped 80 percent of the city. And bodies are still being pulled out of the ruins. The devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina is shocking to behold. The wind and storm surge literally wiped out entire towns across the Gulf Coast on August 29, causing more than 80 billion dollars in property damage. AFP PHOTO / Robyn BECK
