US-KATRINA ANNIVERSARY-NOLA-RECONSTRUCTION
Frederick Smith removes debris from the home (at center) of his brother-in-law Don Woods (not in photo) as they gut Woods' home n the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans, Louisiana 11 July 2006. 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
